OBIEE 11.1.1.5 install Hangs at Domain Creation.

Question

Hi There,
I tried installing OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on Windows 7, 64 bit several times and its very disappointing it hangs at the domain creation. Tried everything the previous posts suggest, but no success,
1. Intstalled Oracle11g.
2. Installed loop back adopter.
2. RCU to create schemas.
3. Installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5
It did not work and finally, some other forums suggested to install in 2 steps, software Install Only and then configuration. For this I performed following additional steps
1. Installing Weblogic server, starting it to see if its working.
2. Changed the Java path to be under C: \ so it doesn't include spaces in the file path.
3. Software install only.
4. Config.cmd under the oracle directory.
Can somebody please help me, have been trying for few weeks now, and feel very very unaccomplished.
The last few lines of log file shows
Creating a new AdminServer Object ...
AdminServer port is 7002
Starting the domain ...
LOADING DLL : C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI\install\config\\StartUtil64.dll
DEBUG : Loading DLL : C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI\install\config\\StartUtil64.dll
DEBUG : Loaded DLL : C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI\install\config\\StartUtil64.dll
After this it hangs and never comes back, appreciate any guidance please,
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
As you say, the OBIEE installation is hanging at the DOMAIN Creation, I suspect the JDK installation location here. I think the web logic domain creation tool just cannot run when the JDK is installed in say c:\Program Files\JAVA etc (any directory with a space). I think this is a bug.
Can you please let me know, if have JDK installed somewhere like this?
In this case, can you please rollback your installation and install JDK in say C:\JAVA and let us know if this works.
You might want to run the weblogic domain creation wizard through <wl_home>\common\bin\config.cmd to identify if its the same cause.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
