Cannot install Oracle 12c on Windows 8.1 - Error in Process ... perl.exe

When installing Oracle 12c personal edition on a freshly minted Windows8.1 box I get the following error:

Title: Database Configuration ...
Error in Process:
C:\app\<username>\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\perl\bin\perl.exe

Clicking ok and skipping gives the following error

[INS-20802] Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed.
Details: The plug-in failed in its perform method ...

Trying lots of things but still come up with same error. Googling shows some users with the same error, but all end in dead-ends without a solution.

Any help much appreciated.

The issue is because of the Anti-virus program most probably McAfee. If you want complete instructions check this out - It is an explanation of the step by step installation process specifically on windows 8.1 and the perl.exe error

I had the same problem with Oracle Database 12c on a fresh Windows 8.1. For me the solutions was deactivating a preinstalled McAfee. I used the Windows-builtin-User during the Oracle-Database Installation.

Think this may be it. The new Windows user for the account was oracle-user. When I tried this with a username OracleUser the installation worked.

I also switched off the AntiVirus - not sure which fixed the problem

A colleague pointed me to this blog which gave a little more info.

Hope this helps someone
