Correct Import Server Registry Key

Zenworks 6.5, Zen 6.5 agent on the local workstation.
I have been troubleshooting some issues with workstation import at several
schools. I need to import the workstations to each schools container, so I
push the registry key to the workstation for the import server IP.
I am pushing this key HKLM/SOFTWARE/Novell/ZENworks/ZENWSREG with the
string value ImportServer = x.x.x.x
I have a local admin who has tried this (upgrade from Zen 4.x to Zen 6.5)
and hasn't been able to get it to work. He has configured another registry
key, and it does seem to work.
This is the other key - HKLM/SOFTWARE/Novell/Workstation Manager/Import
Server with the value as the IP address for the import server.
I thought the ZENWSREG key was the correct key, and everything I have read
on the forum indicates this.
Any ideas why the Workstation Manager key works and the ZENWSREG key
doesn't?
TIA
Dave

Thanks Jared. That's what I thought. This particular school has other
issues, including Clean Slate which blocks writing to both the HD and
Registry.
I'll post back if I find anything interesting.

  • Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2

    Hi,
    I have a Primary site (mixed mode) running SCCM 2007 SP1 for many months now with no issues.
    This site is made up of two Win 2008 sp2 servers sharing the SCCM roles:-
    SCCM01 - Site server, DP, RP, PXE and SQL2005 hosting the SCCM database
    SCCM02 – SUP, MP, FSP, SLP
    The SQL2005 on SCCM01 is running under a domain service account called
    domain\service_sccm which is also a sysadmin in SQL as is the SCCM02 server.
    In an effort to resolve the isse I have made this account a Domain Admin.
    I have also used this account to log onto SEC01 to run the Secondary Site installation and to be the SQL Service account.
    I'm now trying to add a Secondary Site on a Domain Controller called SEC01 (also Win2008 sp2) and on the same LAN as the SCCM01/02.
    This is where I get problems.
    I run the installation locally on the Sec Site server (DC) as a Domain Admin and the installation completes OK (all green ticks),
    the ComponentSetup.log and Pre-Reqs are all good as well however when I check the ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the below -
    Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2.

    Adding the PMP role to SEC01 also fails to install and no MPSetup or MPControl logs are created.
    WebDav and win2008 roles, features all added and server fully patched.
    Despooler.log on SCCM01 seems good and passing keys.
    Tried installing to default path and to shortened path such as C:\SCCM
    The new secondary site is listed in the console and an address can be added for the Secondary Site
    BITS Server Extensions and Remote Differential Compression Features are enabled.
    The Group memberships all appear ok:-
    SCCM01
    Local Admins    
    contains the sec site server SEC01, SCCM01, installation accounts
    SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_001              
    SEC01 (the sec site server)
    SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_001                 
    SCCM02
    SEC01
    No Local Admins as a DC
    SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_002              
    SCCM01
    SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_002     
    empty
    SQL 2005
    This has the account logged in during installation as a sysadmin
    SCCM02 is also sysadmin
    The fundamental issue appears to be that the SEC01$ server account is not being added to SQL Logins (and therefore SCCM database Roles)
    therefore the installation cannot complete.
    I have tried to manually add the SEC01 account to SQL Logins before installation of Sec Site but this did not work.
    Not sure if the fact that SEC01 is a DC may be a factor.
    Appreciate any help if anyone has seen this before or can suggest a resolution.
    Thanks

    After a lot of digging around and head scratching I eventually found the resolution.
    The original thread title Error turned out to be a bit of a red herring in that my failure to deploy Sec Sites came down to two separate issues seemingly unrelated to the error message of the thread title.
    The first part of the resolution was to manually create the SQL Server accounts for the Sec Site Servers and assign them to the smsdbrole_MP DB role to
    let the SQL side of the SCCM install complete a s these were not being created automatically.
    This then left the fact that that the installation of the Sec Site completed successfully according to the install logs in C:\ however the DP and MP would
    never install.
    The big clue was eventually contained in the mpfdm.log errors relating to
    **ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER 
    and
    **ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox Asset Intelligence KB Manager on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER 
    Thankfully the errors led me to these two blogs:
    http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2009/07/20/error-cannot-find-path-for-destination-inbox-sms-amt-proxy-component-on-server-registry.aspx
    and
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5fcc53d4-8629-4b34-9eaa-6cb020eedc13/
    As it turned out the SCCM installation registry and folder creation does not complete and I had to manually enter the reg settings as detailed in the
    links above to complete the installation. Once I did as described everything worked a treat – all my MPs and DPs are 100% now.
    Solutions
    Add the following reg keys to each of your effected secondary sites.

  • Notification Server error 2, Registry Key not found?

    Hello everyone,
    I've got more of a cosmetic problem as it seems atm. When checking the Component Status, I see some red crosses in a couple of components. Two being SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER. The site itself seems to be working okay, although
    it has some problems here and there, but nothing too troubling.
    The first error, located in SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER, states that a the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\NotificationServer cannot be written and returns error code 6 - handle invalid.
    The second error, located in SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER, states that the above mentioned key cannot be found and returns error 2 - cannot find file specified.
    I've checked the registry and the key is definitely there. I also checked the permissions and local service, system and the Primary Sites computer account have full permissions.
    The Key contains three values:
    - Default - REG_SZ - No Data
    - Reserved 1 - REG_SZ - No Data
    - Reserved 2 - REG_SZ - No Data
    I've found this
    thread that suggests a site reset as the solution, but that was already done two weeks ago and it's currently not an option as this is a live production system.
    Any suggestions?
    Best Regards,
    Fred

  • SharePoint 2010 with SQL Reporting Services 2012 "Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key"

    i have a small sharepoint farm "2 servers" (WFE) and SQL Server 2012 ,
    i installed rsSharePoint for reporting services , as a read the Reporting services is Application Service  with SQL 2012 not as SQL 2008 R2 with SharePoint integrated mode, so after installation when am trying to configure the  SQL Server
    Reporting Services Application services i got the below error :
    "Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key"
    any kind of help would be much appreciated .

    I'm having the same issue, but to me it seems like the instructions I've seen are all over the place.  I already have SP 2013 and SQL 2012 SP 1 installed.  I already added the features for Reporting Services - Sharepoint and Reporting Services
    Add-in for SharePoint Products.  I didn't see the Reporting Service service in CA, so I ran the powershell scripts to add SPRSService and SPRSServiceProxy. 
    My initial quest, was to get the BI features enabled, which took me on the journey of adding the Report Services, then I got the error.
    Then when I read this about installing the BI features
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/querysimon/archive/2012/11/26/installing-the-bi-features-of-sharepoint-2013.aspx, which I already had SQL and SP installed.  Do I have to rerun and selct the SQL Server PowerPoint for SharePoint option?  I have the PowerPoint
    Configuration Tool on my SQL server, I run it and I get PowerPivot for SP 2013 Configuranoi is missing prerequisits:  SP 2013 EE is required.  Which I have EE.
    Is Reporting Services different or in addition to the BI Feature (PowerPivot)? 
    Have I missed a step?
    Thanks for you help.

  • Exchange BPA Errors (Exchange server is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed and The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing)

    Hi,
    I am running BPA on My Exchange 2010 VM (Server 2008 R2 VM on Hyper-V) and get the following errors:
    The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing or inaccessible. The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service won't start. As a result, all services that depend
    on this service won't be able to start
    Exchange server [Exchange Server FQDN] is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed. This configuration is not supported. Install Virtual Machine Additions for this guest.
    Problem is that, for the first, that Key exists and the service is actually running fine. And for the second my VM tools are already installed.
    Hopefully someone out there has had the same issue and can assist.
    Pete

    Hi Pete,
    For the first error message, please try the following steps:
    Make sure the Information Store service is in Starting status,
    Automatic startup type and works well, as a test we can try to
    restart the Infroamtion Store service and verify the service works well.
    Start
    Registry Editor, find the registry key “Services” under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup”, its value is “C:\Program
    files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14”(default install location), please check your registry, make sure the key “Services” exist and value is the Exchange Server install location and the
    location is accessible;
    Start
    Registry Editor, and locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup
    Use the
    Permission option under the Security tab to check the permission setting on this key. Make sure
    System is in the list with Full Control permissions if the service account is Local System. If you are not using Local System as the service account, check the existence of the corresponding account in the list and ensure that
    it has Full Control permissions. Please refer to this article:
    Title: Exchange Store Does Not Start: Errors 7024, 1026, 9542, and 5000
    Link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285116
    Start
    ADSI Edit, and then browse to the following location:
    Domain.com/Configuration/Services/Microsoft Exchange/Org/Administrative Groups/AdminGroup/Servers/Server Name
    Right-click the
    server name, and then click Properties.
    Click the
    Security tab, make sure this own server’s server object have
    full control permission on its own server.
    If not or the object is missing, please modify the permission or click
    Add, locate the computer account for the Exchange Server computer, add it to the Permissions list with full control.
    Click OK, and then close ADSI Edit.
    Use
    Active Directory Users and Computers to add the current affected
    Exchange Server computer account to the Exchange Servers(previous version should be “Exchange Domain Servers”) group in the
    Microsoft Exchange Security Groups( or Users) OU. Refer to this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297295.
    Restart the Exchange Server computer, then rerun the ExBPA.
    For the second error message, Microsoft don’t recommend to install Exchange Server on virtual machine without additional tools, so the error message occurs. We can just ignore
    this message, it will not affect the Exchange servers.
    Regards, Eric Zou

  • Search Server Error - Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion

    Hello,
    I have a 5 server farm (DC, 2 WFEs, 1 SQL,1 CA w/ search) and am experiencing an issue when returning search results.  This issue just started occurring recently, and basically the search page throws a correlation id whenever used.  The error returned
    is:
    SearchServiceApplication::Execute--Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800703FA): Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA)

    I even attempted to create an out of the box enterprise search site with OOB masterpages and I still am receiving this error.  
    I have also tried the  ‘Do not forcefully unload the registry at user logoff’ registry edit, but it did not work.
    Has anyone ran into this issue and has another solution other than the ‘Do not forcefully unload the registry at user logoff’ registry edit?
    Thanks!

  • Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\120 registry key.

    Dear Expert,
    I setup SharePoint for 3 tiers, WFE, APP + DB Server.
    I installed SQL 2014 reporting service Add-in on APP Server and already enable sql reporting service in DB Server. DB Server can do report server.
    I follow the step : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068(v=sql.120).aspx  but I stuck in no.2, I cannot start the services, in picture below.
    I checked the SSRS provision is disabled not online
    Please help.

    Hi MasterBird,
    According to your description, when you register and start the Reporting Services SharePoint Service, the error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\120 registry key is thrown out.
    As this
    article say, if you use three-computer deployment, the first computer hosts an instance of a SharePoint product. The Reporting Services Add-in is installed on this computer. The second computer hosts SQL Server Reporting Services and the third computer
    hosts an instance of the Database Engine.
    Regarding the error message, it could cause by the Reporting Services – SharePoint feature and Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products haven’t been installed. Please refer to articles:
    SSRS SharePoint 2013 Create Service Application error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key Error
    Installing SSRS 2012 in SharePoint Mode on SP2010
    If issue persists, please check the error detailed information in ULS logs, and check Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\Log to see if any error occurred during set up. For more information, please refer to this article:
    Troubleshoot a Reporting Services Installation.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

    From above it seems client tools component is missing from Installation or may be problem with Windows installer but I guess this is not issue with windows installer . Can you re download SQL Server package and run again.
    Edit: For further analysis can you also post log from below location on skydrive
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20140709_104804\sql_ssms_Cpu64_1.log

  • Reportings Services in a 2-Tier Architecture / (Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key. )

    Hello,
    we want to install Reporting Services in a 2-Tier Architecture. The Servers are the following:
    SERVER1: Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012
    SERVER2: SharePoint 2013 (WFE)
    Reporting Server is installed on SERVER1 and running. On SERVER2 the registration of the service through Powershell was done but it does not start. An Error when starting the Service on the server occurs with the message:
    "Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key."
    I have found the following in msdn stating that a minimal of the same SharePoint Installation must exist on the Reporting Server. The article is for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2010. Is this the case also for SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 and
    the root of the problem? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510781%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
    If so does this mean that I require for the installation another License?!?!
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to install Reporting Services in a 2-Tier Architecture.
    As the article
    say, if you use Two-Computer Deployment, the first computer hosts an instance of a SharePoint product. The Reporting Services Add-in is installed on this computer. The second computer hosts SQL Server Reporting Services and the Database Engine.
    The steps to install in a  two-tier environment are very similar to a standalone environment hence you can go to refer to the ' Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013' article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068(v=sql.110).aspx
    To install in a  two-tier environment, you can refer to:

  • Adding a Registry Key via Group Policy on Windows server 2008 R2

    Hi all;
    I need to add the following Registry Key and values to several PCs across the network, I tried doing so via a logon script and via Registry Preferences through GP but it didn't work!
    Method 1: Logon script:
    regedit.exe /S \\bbk-files\BBK Templates\slxbasic.reg
    The slxbasic.reg contains the following:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SalesLogix\ADOLogin\Connection1]
    "Alias"="BBKSLX_PRODUCTION"
    "Provider"="SLXOLEDB.1"
    "Initial Catalog"="BBKSLX_PRODUCTION"
    "Data Source"="BBK-SLX1"
    "DBUser"=""
    "Extended Properties"="PORT=1706;LOG=ON"
    Method 2: GP Preference:
    I add the above mentioned values via the GP Preference for the Registry and still didn't work, I also tried the Registry wizard and imported the required Registry info from another PC and still didn't work.
    When I check the GP result for the required PCs, I see that the GP is applied, but when I check the registry, I don't find the required values their!
    Please help.

    Hi,
    >>When I'm processing a GP results report, I'm processing it for a certain PC and a certain user, and I look at the User's applied policies and I can find the policy
    there.
    How is the issue going? Are we still unable to see the value in the Registry?
    >>Users have permissions on the shred drive and can navigate to the location and run the .reg file manually.
    After we ran the script manually, did we check the Registry to see if the value had been changed?
    Best regards,
    Frank Shen

  • SCCM 2012 - Hardware Inventory Registry Import not working - Windows in the name of the Registry key

    I downloaded the Reg to MOF tool and compiled some of our custom Registry Keys which worked fine. There was particular Key that didn't work and after some testing and messing around I realized why it isn't working:
    The key I am using is: HKLM\Software\MyCompanyWindows
    Because the key has the name Windows in it, it fails to import. I get the generic check the formatting for your MOF file error.
    The MOF file you tried to import could not be compiled. Ensure that the MOF file contains valid data. You can use the command line mofcomp utility to test the data.
    But if I run a MOFCOMP against the MOF I am trying to import it checks the syntax successfully.
    If I change the key to MyCompanyWin or MyCompanyW it imports with no problem.
    We have rolled out this key to almost every device in our organization and connected it to other inventory agents so there is no possibility of changing the key.
    Is there any way to disable the validation check that SCCM is performing?

    Hi,
    If possible, could you please upload the MOF file to SkyDrive?
    Best Regards,

  • Everytime i download itunes it says some of my registry keys for copy cds are not there , why can i not get it to download correctly

    every time i download itunes it says some of my registry keys are missing. i tried downloading again but same thing happens. what can i do to fix this.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

  • The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

    H,
    Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
    Event 1001
    Op Code NLS initialization
    The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
    We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now. 
    I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
    How do we ascertain the  cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

    Hi,
    This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.
    http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/242579-44-hkcu-control-panel-international-opened
    And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
    Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

  • Hardware Inventory - Registry Keys

    I have done this before.. getting registry keys into HINV isn't rocket science, but for some reason this seems beyond me. The scenario that I am
    faced with is my customer needs to pull in regs keys that created when software is installed/uninstalled. this then feeds collections memberships and reporting 
    The registry entries looks like this but one for each app
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Corp\Components]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Corp\Components\Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.170]
    "Status"="Uninstalled"
    "CRNumber"="CRI605844"
    "Date installed"="6/18/2014 9:40:13 AM"
    "Date uninstalled"="25/09/2014 9:15:46 AM"
    I have used RegkeytoMof 3.1 to create the following entries to add to configuration.mof and to import into HINV via client settings. 
    Configuration.mof settings
    // RegKeyToMOF by Mark Cochrane (thanks to Skissinger, Steverac, Jonas Hettich & Kent Agerlund)
    // this section tells the inventory agent what to collect
    // 25/09/2014 2:31:17 PM
    #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
    #pragma deleteclass("Components", NOFAIL)
    [dynamic, provider("RegProv"), ClassContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Corp\\Components")]
    Class Components
    [key] string KeyName;
    [PropertyContext("Status")] String Status;
    [PropertyContext("CRNumber")] String CRNumber;
    [PropertyContext("Dateinstalled")] String Dateinstalled;
    [PropertyContext("Dateuninstalled")] String Dateuninstalled;
    Import to into Hinv.mof
    // RegKeyToMOF by Mark Cochrane (thanks to Skissinger, Steverac, Jonas Hettich & Kent Agerlund)
    // this section tells the inventory agent what to report to the server
    // 25/09/2014 2:31:17 PM
    #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\SMS")
    #pragma deleteclass("Components", NOFAIL)
    [SMS_Report(TRUE),SMS_Group_Name("Components"),SMS_Class_ID("Components")]
    Class Components: SMS_Class_Template
    [SMS_Report(TRUE),key] string KeyName;
    [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String Status;
    [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String CRNumber;
    [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String Dateinstalled;
    [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String Dateuninstalled;
    Unfortunately this doesn't seem to do anything.  the clients process the class without error according to inventoryagent.log. 
    But there is nothing getting placed in the database or showing in resource explorer. 
    I feel like I have tried every combination possible and opened up for tabs then any browser would like... so any help is greatly appriecated. 
    Regards, Martin

    Ahh good point. No. No there are no instances :(
    This is the code I am adding to configuration.mof which should be creating the class (might have already been there from ConfigMgr 2007) and propagating the instances with data from the registry. 
    #pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
    #pragma deleteclass("Corp", NOFAIL)
    //Declare the class for client component registry properties
    [DYNPROPS]
    class Corp
        [key]  string KeyName;
               string ImageName;
               string ImageVersion;
               string OSMajor;
               string OSMinor;
    // Declare the instances, one for each client component
    [DYNPROPS] 
    instance of Corp
        KeyName="Corp";
        [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Wow6432Node\\Corp|ImageName"),Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")] ImageName;
        [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Wow6432Node\\Corp|ImageVersion"),Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")] ImageVersion;
        [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Wow6432Node\\Corp|OSMajor"),Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")] OSMajor;
        [PropertyContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Wow6432Node\\Corp|OSMinor"),Dynamic, Provider("RegPropProv")] OSMinor;

  • Updating registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_home

    We are installing 11gR2 32 bit on Window XP Professional . During the installation its stucked on given below operation (setup files operation ). I have tried multiple time , but every time it is stucking on same point (setup files operation -- updating registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_home1') . Not able to install 11gR2 on Window XP.

    This appears to be a download or extraction corruption.
    -Ensure the download size of the files are correct.
    -Don't use Windows native extraction to unzip the files, use something like winzip or 7-zip.
    -Ensure that the installation files are stored locally in a directory without spaces, such as c:\temp
    -Both zip files need to be extracted into the same directory. If you end up with more that one folder (ie: database), then you did the extraction improperly.
    -Do not install into c:\Program Files, install into a directory without spaces such as c:\oracle.
    Possible permissions issue:
    -Ensure you are an administrator on the system.
    -Ensure that the Workstation or Server services are running.
    -Turn-off system/virus protection
    -Do the installation from the console, not remote desktop.
    -Ensure failed installations are properly removed/cleaned.
    - run from the command prompt the deinstall utility (Oracle De-install Utility (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit))
