CUACEE_SV_9.0.1.10 fails to install, hangs at database wizard

Question

During the install we get to the point where the database wizard just hangs and it goes no further.
Following is the application log - nothing happens after the event ID 5084 and you have to force the wizard to close. it will stay that way all day.

I'm not quite sure what you are missing, but it looks like you missed a script which could cause problems.  You need to look through your logs for errors. Are you running rel853 as the AccessID user?  I don't know how you would trash PSSTATUS in this process.
You don't mention running this.
Task 4-3-2:  Creating Tablespaces
This step runs the PTDDLUPG script, which builds new tablespaces as part of the upgrade to the new PeopleSoft release.
It creates tablespace PSIMAGE2, which doesn't exist in the datamover load you did.  Oracle moves and puts around 208 tables here when you run rel853 from what I see.
The first line of rel853 is
UPDATE PSSTATUS SET TOOLSREL='8.53',
                  LASTREFRESHDTTM = SYSDATE
This is what changes the tools release, sometimes people just run this one update to gain quick and dirty access to a different version.
I pulled this download and ran through it myself without incident doing all the steps you say, adding in 4-3-2 which you seemed to have skipped.  I built a system database.
My hcengs.log shows
Importing  PSSTATUS
Creating Table  PSSTATUS
Import  PSSTATUS  1
Building required indexes for PSSTATUS
Updating statistics for PSSTATUS
Records remaining: 7686
After import, PSSTATUS is
SQL> select toolsrel from sysadm.psstatus;
TOOLSREL
8.52
After running rel853n it's now
SQL> COMMIT
  2  ;
Commit complete.
SQL> SPOOL OFF
SQL> select toolsrel from sysadm.psstatus;
TOOLSREL
8.53
I ran the other 3 quick scripts.  Not sure if it was necessary, but I reset the passwords and re-encrypted them with the new 8.53 datamover for the new salted encryption and fired up app designer.  It works.  By the way, you should probably run rel853n, it utilizes "newer" (for PeopleSoft that is) data-types than just rel853.sql that were delivered with the 9.0 application line.  Since this is a new 9.0 based app build it should be used.
