Did you run across any errors when installing this? When I enter the Administrator Details information, it will not proceed. The section label turns red, but there is no error message

Kind of a weird thing... I had been getting that error when doing the "Simple Install", but the install worked fine for "Enterprise Install".
Which OS are you using?
I am running it on my Lenovo T61 laptop which has Windows XP SP3.
I got the Enterprise Install to work. But now when I run the "Start BI Services", it runs two command prompt windows, then it will bring up my browser with the following error.
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
@Raventh, whilst installing on Windows 7 I had the exact same problem, the first time I used 'Password1' and it gave the error shown in your screenshot. I aborted the install and went back in again, this time using lower-case on the p 'password1' which progressed me to the next screen, after which I was able to return to the previous screen and change the password to my original one 'Password1'..... strange.
@ananymous Yeah, I tried that as well, but still got the same bug.
@John Looks like "Oracle Process Manager (instance1)" is not starting. I'm trying to track down what the issue is with that now.
@Raventh: I have same error with win 2003 sp2, and WinXp sp3. I unable to run a simple installation. With "Enterprise Install" I can run every task, but the Process manager not starting at the install, and after a restart I unable login to the BI dashboard with the weblogic password. (what's working for Em, and weblogic admin pages).
And when I try to use BI administrator it's asking 2 password for repository: one for repository and one for a username. Anybody know what is the default passwords for demo repository???
I got this error as well:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
After about ten minutes the application finally became responsive. It seems to be taking a while to start up the java host and presentation server components if you are running on lower specced hardware.
@Anonymous
I am having the same problem and tried the same tactic as you did, but that failed also.
Are you running the setup in compatibility mode?
When I run the "Enterprise Install" I also face the same problems with logging on to the BI Dashboard.
On XP Pro install, how much of a RAM are we looking at?
Sorry I didnt do the RTFM, but was curious about the minimum RAM/HD requirement.
@Raventh, I found the error we were looking at in the Release Notes, "53.2.8 Oracle BI Installer Stops at Administrator User Details Screen
If you attempt to install on a Windows machine that is using DHCP, does not have a primary DNS suffix, and does not have a loopback adapter configured, then the Oracle BI installer will stop at the screen prompting for the Administrator user details. This appears as a red cross in the tree on the left hand side of the installer. This issue is caused by the installer not being able to resolve the IP address to a hostname.
The workaround is to configure a loopback adapter or primary DNS suffix."
... sometimes I should RTFM :)
@skar my machine is a 4Gb setup. The Oracle db and Obiee use about 2.3Gb

@Anonymous Thanks. I have since stopped trying to install it on my laptop and talked my boss into letting me install it on one of our servers and it is running like a champ so far.
Oh, I never knew how to do that ... now, ill try with ur explanation. Thanks for posting it!
