Cannot Install 11g 64 bit client on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS

Question

I am trying to install Oracle 11g 64 bit client on Windows 7 64 Bit Professional. I'm running setup as administrator and all prerequisites fail with Actual Value not Found Expected value not found. I select ignore and press next and the application just silently shuts down. Log is too big so here is an abbreviated log.
Here is the installation log
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I disagree with your assessment, for two reasons.
One is the severity for RAM is listed as Severity:IGNORABLE.
Secondly I just saw this happen to myself just a moment ago (which is how I found this threat) as well using a silent install on a Windows 2008r2 server I can install to using the setup.exe manually. so disk and memory really isn't an issue.
I suspect something else is going on here. If you read those warnings the Critical they are just the last two about disk space and the PATH variable. Perhaps I am not running as elevated as I thought or the C$ share is not reach able. I am going to keep trying and will report back here when I get my silent install working.
