I am trying to install Oracle Client version 12c or 18c. I have tried both of the installers, and once I click next, it hangs and won't proceed any further. Same thing happens on both of the setup files. I have removed Antivirus and check the installers on a server and confirmed it works.

What other thing can go wrong with these things, could anyone give us ideas please?

Thank you!

  • My installation hung about 10 minutes, then went ahead.

I had a look in the installation log under C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions<CurrentDate_Time>.log

It was stuck on the step:

INFO: Checking whether the IP address of the localhost could be determined...

After a lot of playing around with hosts files, etc. I ended up disabling EVERY network adapter visible in Windows 10. Installation went off without a hitch from that point. I re-enabled the needed adapter(s) following the Install step.

    Thanks for the answer. I had the same issue, and disabling every network alone did not work. I then run the "Network reset" under "network and internet settings" and then it worked.

Disable IPv6 settings in your system and start a fresh install (whether it is 12c, 18c or 19c) if you find the below error as one of yours. It worked like a charm after searching a lot in this issue.

  • Disabling IPV6 solved the issue for me.

I tried disabling all of my network adapters (as suggested by N Dattler) and this did not solve my issue. In desperation I started trying out different command-line parameters and I think I found the right one. It worked for me both times I tested it:

setup.exe  -ignoreprereq -J"-Doracle.install.client.validate.clientSupportedOSCheck=false"

I tried removing either of those parameters, but it only worked with both in place. Both seem innocent enough and the proof is that now I have a fully functional Oracle 12c client install.

P.S. Don't forget to open the command prompt window as Administrator (right click and select Run as Administrator).

Remove all the spaces in the name of directory and run it as administrator.

I was facing similar issue when directory path was long and had spaced. I cut/pasted at D:\ root and bang, the setup ran successfully.

  • Yep, keep directory names short and no spaces or it will not install. Thanks for the tip.
