OBIEE11g install problems and solutions I

I had to do a install of 11Gr5 on a laptop with windows7 64 bit and ran into a couple of problems. The laptop was/is kind of messed up because I often use it to test and install new version of a product.

Problem: Installation freezes in the configuration step.

  • Check if you have a 64 bit java JDK installed:image 

!DON’T look in the program files (X86) directory!

  • Check if your java_home points to the right directory:image

If you have a CLASS_PATH variable see that it points to the right directory, even better if you remove it (temporally) before install.

Till Next Time
