Hi Hans,
Thanks for your reply, after downloading the new installer "invalid entry size" error is gone now.
but once the installer reaches to 68% then its giving the error " Error in invoking target 'mkldflags ntcontab.o' of makefile '/export/home/perfuser/app/perfuser/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/lib/ins_net_client.mk'
