Installer fails to install EM on Window XP non English

Hello,
I'm new to Oracle and try to install Oracle 10.1.0g on my Windows XP Professional Czech machine.
Universal installer fails to install Enterprise manager. So I later manually invoke emca.bat -r. However this fails with error - Malformed Encoding.
Could somebody please help me? Many thanks.

Hello,
you are facing bug 3610052, on Windows platforms you must not install EM into a directory starting with 'u'. This is interpreted as unicode encode and throws 'Malformed encoding' error message.

  • Every PATCH installation fails after installing Windows Updates

    Hello,
    I want to report an issue which I think is a Windows bug introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I wasn't able to find out which one of them).
    Here is the test case:
    1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test machine
    2. install all available Windows Updates (so the system is up to date)
    3. create a sample MSI installer which only installs some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host it on a web server
    4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:
    msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi
    5. create a .MSP patch (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
    6. install the v1.0.1 patch
    RESULT: the patch installation fails with the following error message: "The filename , directory name , or volume label syntax is incorrect"
    NOTES:
    1. the issue was replicated on Windows 7 and 8 machines UP TO DATE
    2. the issue is not replicated on a fresh installation of Windows without Updates applied
    Is there anyone aware of what could cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows machines with the latest Updates installed.
    Thx,
    Daniel

  • Oralce EPM Fails to install Weblogic on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

    I've run the installer on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and it fails to install Weblogic. I don't have MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common. Config tool log says missing jars. When I go back to install and choose products individually, Weblogic Server is gray. When I click on Weblogic Server, the message at the bottom says can not be installed.
    I have checked that I have extracted the following assemblies:
    Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.0.0
    Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Foundation Services Release 11.1.2.0.0 - Parts 1 - 4
    Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Additional Content Release 11.1.2.0.0
    I have run this same set of files on another server and Weblogic was installed. Am I missing something?

    I am not sure if it is your problem but I don't think R2 is officially supported, I did have problems with it when I first installed 11.1.2 so I installed with R1 SP2.
    Cheers

    Summary:
    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my G580.  Everything is working fine except the WLAN driver fails to install with the error "BCM4313: Can not find setup file".
    Details:
    I bought lenovo G580 with Windows 8.  Since my parents are not comfortable with the learning curve of Win 8, I successfully downgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  Everything is working fine but my WLAN card is not recognized because of lack of driver.
    The lenovo parts look-up page says I have broadcom WLAN card - CBT BCM4313 MOW HMC WLAN
    I looked at lenovo driver downloads site and tried following driver files for Windows 7 and both of them failed to install with the following error.  I tried installing other WLAN drivers also but they won't even install as required hardward is not there.
    Error -  "BCM4313: Can not find setup file"
    Drivers Tried:

    - http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS028208
    Any help about how to get past this error will be appreciated.  The previous Widnows verison (Windows 8) is still on my hard-drive as windows.old folder.  Let me know if I can copy a specific file from there.
    Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Download this driver bcm4313
    Start setup and extract the files.After that go to star menu/control panel/system/device manager.There you probably find out that network adapter driver is missing.Choose it and click with right mb for drop menu to show up.Select properties then Driver/Update Drivers...Select to load driver from computer hard drive and choose the path where extract files is.Default path is main partion C: and search for directory named Driver.
    And yes...you get "Can not find setup file" error but dont worry.Files needed to instal driver are extract fine.

    Hi,
    See if deleting the account SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c} in ADUC (you should find it in the Users Container) and then rerun
    setup.exe /preparead helps you solve your problem.

  • EvtFormatMessage function fails with error code 15033 (ERROR_EVT_MESSAGE_LOCALE_NOT_FOUND) on non-English Windows OS

    I have an App which subscribes to Windows events and if it is matching the filter criteria, it reports it.
    I have observed a strange problem on non-English windows 2008 OS. 
    If the Windows event is of source = EventLog (e.g. Event ID 1102: Security log was cleared), then EvtFormatMessage fails with error code 15033. But if the event is of any other source (e.g. Microsoft Security Auditing), then it works absolutely fine.
    While calling EvtOpenPublisherMetadata, I have created locale ID as MAKELCID(MAKELANGID(0x09,0x01) i.e. Primary language = LANG_ENGLISH and Sub Language = SUBLANG_DEFAULT.
    I want events details in English only and hence primary language is put as English. If I change this macro to have primary language as LANG_CHINESE and sub language as SUBLANG_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED, then it works fine but gives back event details in native
    OS language (Chinese in this case). That's not a desirable output for me.
    Following is the way I'm calling EvtFormatMessage 
    EvtFormatMessage(hMetaData, hEvent[0], -1, 0, NULL,
                                   1 /* EvtFormatMessageEvent */, 
                                   m_pTextBufferSize/sizeof(WCHAR),
                                   m_pTextBuffer, &dwBuffUsed);
    A work-around for this is to install a MUI pack for English language. If the MUI pack is installed then it works fine. But I cannot enforce users to have this pack installed on all their systems.
    My question is  why this API is working for some set of Events whereas failing for some specific Events? Am I doing something wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    TIA,
    Regards,
    Yogesh
     

    Was on vacation and hence the delay in replying.
    As mentioned earlier, while calling EvtOpenPublisherMetadata, I have created locale ID as MAKELCID(MAKELANGID(0x09,0x01)

    to have primary language as LANG_CHINESE and sub language as SUBLANG_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED, then it works fine but gives back event details in native OS language (Chinese in this case).
    This is not an option for me as I want event details in English language only.

  • Lightroom 5.7 Installer Fails on Win 8.1 - Windows compatibility reports incompatible

    Have had a case open since 15.2 and getting nowhere (0186366824). Was wondering if anybody here has encountered this issue and resolved?
    New PC, clean install of Windows 8.1. My old 3.6 version of LR returned an installer failure and was advised it was incompatible and I needed to upgrade. 5.7 now behaves the same.
    To date I have been instructed to downland full versions of LR - 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. All fail at the installer running as Admin.
    The last direction from support was a little scary considering I own numerous Adobe products:-
    Please follow these steps to remove all Adobe folders from your computer and then retry to install it back:
    Remove Adobe Folders:-

    Now install Lightroom 5 from the below mentioned link:
      http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5741
    And then Enter the serial Key of Lightroom 5 and then Lightroom 1
    It will install and activate the product.

    Thank you very much.
    I did uninstall Adobe Air, Adobe Reader XI and another Adobe product, rebooted, and after this the installation was possible with no problems!

  • Grub from arch installer fails to install

    Using the pre-release core (i686) iso 2011.03.23 because the standard iso doesn't have the drivers to support my wireless device (though neither seems to have a driver for the wired interface, interestingly)
    When at the 'Install Bootloader' step, it attempts to build the GRUB device map, then the arch installer quits, printing this at the bottom along with a console prompt:
    ERROR: device_is_raid needs a blockdevice as $1 ( given)
    Attempted to then run 'grub-install' from said console as follows:
    [root@archiso ~]# grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt
    Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
    The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly/
    [root@archiso ~]#
    I found I had to pass the root-directory argument, as otherwise it couldn't find the stage1 file.
    This hard disk is not using raid in any way, and for reference has a partition layout as follows
    /dev/sda1    ntfs as PQSERVICE
    /dev/sda2    ntfs as SYSTEM RESERVED
    /dev/sda3    ntfs as Acer
    /dev/sda4    extended partition containing:
    /dev/sda5    ext3 as /
    /dev/sda6    swap
    The first three were already present on the disk with Windows 7, which incidentally continues to boot without issue. The only modification made was to shrink the Acer (aka C:\) partiton with GParted to make room for Arch.
    Would rather use GRUB than other bootloaders unless unavoidable.
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Gremnon wrote:Out of habit, I always use the Beginners Guide, and always use GParted to prepare the partitions in advance. Bad blood between me and Parted Magic writes it out of the book entirely.
    Will try again with a boot partition included, but I don't see why it would make any difference.
    Any particular reason for ext3 over ext2 for /boot?
    I don't see why it would make a difference either, but my install failed until I did it. Ext3 is more robust than Ext2, so if your system crashes there's a better chance of it not being hosed. I don't think it's a big deal either way, but I feel safer with Ext3.

  • VMWare Tools Fails to Install - Guest OS Windows 8.1 - vSphere 6.0

    Hi,
    I am having issues installing VMWare tools on a Windows 8.1 guest. I recently upgraded from ESXi 5.5 to 6 and used the automated upgrade. I logged on to one of my Windows 8.1 VMs and noticed that a glibc error was popping up related to VM Tools so I uninstalled and attempted a reinstall. VMWare tools now does not install.. I believe this is the relevant section of the logs before it rolls back:

    Can anyone shed some light on this? I think it has something to do with cscript.exe, when I attempt to run it from a command prompt I get an error that the program or feature cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit version of windows. cscript located in syswow64 works, is there any way I can force it to use that?
    Thanks!

    OK, got a bit further... forced it to use the cscript.exe executable that actually works but now receiving this error:
