Goal
This Document is a reference for Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) Error Messages,Potential/Possible Cause and Potential/Possible Solution

Solution

OUI-10001
OUI-10001:OUI cannot determine the platform. of this system. This may occur if OUI is running on a system that is not supported or there is a bug in OUI. Please confirm that the system is a supported configuration; if it is supported, please contact Oracle Support.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
OUI Determines the platform. from the file /inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml

This message can occur if :
1) OUI is not able to detect the platform. from the file /inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml

2) If OUI is running on a system that is not supported

3) May be a bug in OUI

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check the file /inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml
Check Metalink Certify to confirm that the system is a supported configuration
Or contact Oracle Support

OUI-10004
OUI-10004:The target area is being written to by another session. Please close all the other(write) sessions for accessing inventory.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:

For any Write operations in the inventory , a lock will be acquired by the OUI.The file "writer.lock" will be created under /locks directory.The above message is displayed if there is a lock existing in the /locks which is already acquired by another OUI.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check if there is a "writer.lock" already existing in /locks directory.
Check if there is another OUI running in the system which can hold a lock on the oraInventory.

In Unix you can use the command:
% ps -ef | grep runInstaller

In Windows you can use the command:
> tasklist | findstr /R "setup.exe"
OR
> tasklist | findstr /R "oui.exe"
OR
> tasklist | findstr /R "javaw.exe"
( make sure that this is the java process respective one to OUI)

Stop the process
Then try to start the OUI again

OUI-10005
OUI-10005:You do not have sufficient permissions to access the inventory , unable to remove an existing inactive writer lock file in the inventory. Make sure you have enough permission to the ''locks'' directory to create/remove the writer.lock file

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:

For any Write operations in the inventory, a lock will be acquired by the OUI.The file "writer.lock" will be created under /locks directory.Global inventory ( oraInventory ) was locked by another process and the writer.lock file still exists even after the process exited.The current OUI (process) is not able to remove the "writer.lock" file as the permission for the current user does not allow doing so.This is potential/POSSIBLE CAUSE the current user is neither the owner nor the member of the group which owns /locks directory

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that the user have write permission on the directory /locks
Change the ownership of the / to the current user
OR
Include the current user in the group which own the directory provided that the group have write permission to the directory.

OUI-10020
OUI-10020:The target area is being used as a source by another session. A write lock cannot be obtained.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:

Global inventory ( oraInventory ) may accessed by another process.

For any Write operations in the inventory , a lock will be acquired by the OUI.
The file "writer.lock" will be created under /locks directory.
The above message is displayed if the directory is accessed by another process ( may be third party tools also).So OUI is not able to create a "writer.lock" file in /locks directory

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check if any process is accessing the
If so kill/stop the process.

In Unix you can use the command:

/sbin/fuser

REFERENCE
Note 358550.1 - OUI-10020 A write lock cannot be obtained

OUI-10021
OUI-10021:The target area is being written to by another session. A read lock cannot be obtained.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
Global inventory ( oraInventory ) is locked by another process.

For any reading operation or when OUI is started , OUI will create a "reader.lock" file in /locks directory.As already a write lock ("writer.lock") exists in the /locks directory , OUI will not be able to create a "reader.lock".Hence the error message is displayed.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Check if there is a "writer.lock" already existing in /locks directory.
Check if there is another OUI running in the system, which can hold a lock on the orainventory.

In Unix you can use the command:
% ps -ef | grep runInstaller

In Windows you can use the command:
tasklist | findstr /R "setup.exe"
OR
tasklist | findstr /R "oui.exe"
OR
tasklist | findstr /R "javaw.exe" ( make sure that this is the java process respective one to OUI)

Stop the process
Then try to start the OUI again

OUI-10022
OUI-10022:The target area cannot be used potential/POSSIBLE CAUSE it is in an invalid state.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This error can occur due to multiple reasons. Mostly the reason should be Global inventory ( oraInventory> corruption.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that the user have write permission on the directory
Check the health of the inventory using the OPatch :

% OPatch lsinventory

Verify if the command is able to list the detail
If the Central inventory is corrupted, then this can be recreated from 10.2.0.1.0 onwards:

Note 556834.1 - Steps To Recreate Central Inventory (oraInventory) In RDBMS Homes

OUI-10024
OUI-10024:The DISPLAY environment variable is not set. The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to :, where the is usually :0.0.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The DISPLAY environment variable is not set
OUI Requires DISPLAY variable to be Set

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check if the DISPLAY environment variable is not set
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:

echo $DISPLAY

If not then set the same as follows:
Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:

For csh:
% setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0

For sh, ksh and bash:
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY

Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
% echo $SHELL

OUI-10025
OUI-10025:Unable to start an interactive install session potential/POSSIBLE CAUSE of the following error:The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to :, where the is usually 0.0

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The DISPLAY environment variable is not set properly or client users are not authorized to connect to the X Server

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
For csh:
% setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0

For sh, ksh and bash:
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY

Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
echo $SHELL

Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
echo $DISPLAY

Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +

To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':

If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance

REFERENCE:
Note 153960.1 - FAQ: X Server Testing and Troubleshooting

OUI-10028
OUI-10028:The directory location you have specified, is not registered as an Oracle Home in the central inventory.
Do you want to continue installation in this Oracle Home?

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:

OUI is not able to get the Oracle Home details from the Central inventory ( oraInventory ).

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check if the Oracle home is present in the central inventory.
Use the following command to find the same:

% OPatch lsinventory -all

If the Oracle home is not present in the Oracle Home use the following command to register the same with the Central inventory :

In UNIX :
% cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
%./runInstaller -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="<10g Oracle_Home Path>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME=""
In Windows:
> cd %ORACLE_HOME%/oui/bin
> setup.exe -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="<10g Oracle_Home Path>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME=""

OUI-10029
OUI-10029:You have specified a non-empty directory to install this product. It is recommended to specify either an empty or a non-existent directory. You may, however, choose to ignore this message if the directory contains Operating System generated files or subdirectories like 'lost+found'.

OUI-10030
OUI-10030:You have specified a non-empty directory to install this product. It is recommended to specify either an empty or a non-existent directory. You may, however, choose to ignore this message if the directory contains Operating System generated files or subdirectories like 'lost+found'.Do you want to proceed with installation in this Oracle Home?

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The Oracle Home path (directory) specified for the installation is an already existing one and the directory contains files or subdirectories

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check if there is any directory/files exist inside the Oracle Home directory specified. Remove the directories/files if they are not required ones.

You can ignore directories like "lost+found".Then continue the installation
OR

Specify another non-existent directory, as Oracle home. OUI will create the same during installation.
OR

Specify a directory, which is Empty

NOTE: use "-force" to make a silent install progress past this error

REFERENCE:
Note 443385.1 - WARNING: OUI-10030 on a Patchset Installation

OUI-7000
OUI-7000: The following registry entries could not be created: Make sure you have sufficient privileges to update the registry or create the entries manually

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:

In sufficient privileges to update the registry

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Registry entries are created/updated at the time of installation.
Make sure that the user-installing oracle has administrator rights to update the registry.

OUI-10031
OUI-10031:Inventory location cannot be empty

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
OUI Creates a Central Inventory ( oraInventory) at the time of first installation on the server.
The location for the central Inventory was not specified

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Specify the location for the central Inventory and continue the installation.

OUI-10033
OUI-10033:The inventory location set by the previous installation session is no longer accessible. Do you still want to continue by creating a new inventory? Note that you may lose the products installed in the earlier session.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
There can be multiple POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE for the error.
Most of the times the problem will be related to :

1) Incorrect Inventory location specified in the oraInst.loc file
2) Oracle user will not be having proper permissions on the inventory location specified in the oraInst.loc

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Make sure that that the inventory location specified in the oraInst.loc file is correct and also you have proper permissions on the specified location.

REFERENCE:
Note 469637.1 - Clone.pl Fails With Error "Exiting With Status 255"
Note 452780.1 - 11gR1 OUI Error: "OUI-10035 OR OUI-10033"

OUI-10034

OUI-10034:Inventory location is invalid

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
There are several reasons this can occur:
1) The inventory location is truly invalid
2) The inventory location is not accessible by the user trying to do the install
the group listed for group= in the /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc or /etc/oraInst.loc file is different then the group of the user running the OUI and cannot access or write to the oraInventory.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Note 285305.1 - 'Inventory location is invalid' error pop-up is displayed when OUI first comes up

OUI-10035
OUI-10035:You do not have permission to write to the inventory location.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The inventory location is not accessible by the user trying to do the install

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
The oraInventory that is being pointed to via the inventory_loc reference in the /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc or /etc/oraInst.loc file or inst_loc in registry has permissions that restrict the user running the OUI from writing to the oraInventory.

Ensure that the user is the correct user to perform. the install, if so then you will need to do a recursive chmod to allow access to the oraInventory;
e.g

$ chmod -R 755 /oraInventory

OUI-10036
OUI-10036:Could not create the inventory location. You may not have permission to write to this location.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
There is no proper permission for the oracle user on the inventory location specified during installation.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Ensure that the user is the correct user to perform. the install and the user have proper permissions in the specified directory
Check the same using the command:

% ls -l

If there is no proper permission for the user then provide the same:
% chmod -R 755

OUI-10037
OUI-10037:Unable to set up inventory. You may not have the proper permissions.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
There is no proper permission for the oracle user on the inventory location specified during installation.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Ensure that the user is the correct user to perform. the install and the user have proper permissions in the specified directory

Check the same using the command:
% ls -l

If there is no proper permission for the user then provide the same:
% chmod -R 755

OUI-10038
OUI-10038:You do not have the necessary permissions to write to the inventory at . Please make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to perform. the installation.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
There is no write permission for the user on the inventory location specified during installation.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Ensure that the user is the correct user to perform. the install and the user have proper permissions in the specified directory

Check the same using the command:
% ls -l

If there is no proper permission for the user then provide the same:
% chmod -R 755

REFERENCE:
Note 433805.1- Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) Reports Error OUI-10038

OUI-10039
OUI-10039:Unable to read install inventory on this system. Please check if you have the proper permissions to read/write to the inventory.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
There is no Read permission for the user on the inventory location.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Ensure that the user is the correct user to perform. the install and the user have proper permissions in the specified inventory

Check the same using the command:
% ls -l

If there is no proper permission for the user then provide the same:
% chmod -R 755

OUI-10040
OUI-10040: Unable to read inventory pointer file: Check if you have the proper permissions.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The inventory pointer ( oraInst.loc ) will be owned by "root" and other users will have read permission on the same:

EG :
[oracle@oracle ~]$ ls -l /etc/oraInst.loc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Oct 3 18:42 /etc/oraInst.loc

But in this case there is no Read permission for the oracle user on the inventory pointer.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Ensure that the user is the correct user to perform. the inventory actions and the user has proper permissions in the inventory pointer ( oraInst.loc )

Check the same using the command:
% ls -l

If there is no proper permission for the user then provide the same: (as "root" user)
% chmod -R 644

REFERENCE:
Note 401230.1 - OUI-10058 OUI-10040 When Installing Oracle 10g

OUI-10041
OUI-10041:Unable to read inventory location registry entry:. Check if the registry entry exists and if you have the proper permissions.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
Accessing the inventory pointer (orainst_loc) key requires administrator privileges and other users will have read permission on the same:

The following command will display the central inventory pointer (orainst_loc) key and value.

C:\>reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE /v inst_loc

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Make sure that you have administrator privileges to read the registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\inst_loc

OUI-10044
OUI-10044:The selected location already contains an Oracle Home or APPL_TOP created while running a different OS.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This Error can occur mainly in two conditions:

1) The software/patchset which you are trying to install is meant for a different platform

2) The file /install.platform. is corrupted.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that the software/patchset you are trying install is meant for the same platform
Make sure that the file /install. platform. is fine.

Please check the
Note 739907.1 - OUI-10044:The Selected Oracle Home Location Already Contains An Oracle Home Or APPL_TOP Created While Running a Different OS ".

OUI-10053
OUI-10053:Unable to generate temporary script. Unable to continue install.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This Error occurs usually when generating the script. orainstRoot.sh in the /tmp directory.
The user may not have proper permission in the directory "/tmp" or "/tmp" is full

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Check the permissions of the /tmp directory
% ls -l /tmp

Make sure that /tmp have proper write permissions:
Run the command :
% chmod 0777 /tmp ( as root )

Check if the /tmp have Enough Space for creating the file.

OUI-10054
OUI-10054:Unable to modify the group ownership of the OUI inventory to the requested group name. Either the specified group doesn't exist, or the current userid does not belong to that group. If the group exists, you may run the shell script. as root to change the group name after installation is complete.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This Error occurs usually when the script. root.sh tries to modify the Central inventory group ownership

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that the group specified at the start of installation is an existing one
Make sure that the particular oracle user is a part of the particular group specified at the start of installation is an existing one
Eg:To check the group "dba"

%cat /etc/group | grep dba
dba:x:502:oracle

(This means that the group "dba" exist , the group id is "502" and the user "oracle" is a part of the group "dba")

OUI-10055
OUI-10055:Error in accessing the registry

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This Error usually occurs when the user is not having administrator rights/permission on the registry

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that you have administrator privileges in accessing/modifying the registry.
Check the permissions in regedit->hkey_local_machine->software->oracle (permissions- advanced tab )

OUI-10056
OUI-10056:Error updating the registry

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This Error usually occurs when the user is not having administrator rights/permission on the registry

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that you have administrator privileges in accessing/modifying the registry.
Check the permissions in regedit->hkey_local_machine->software->oracle (permissions- advanced tab )

OUI-10058
OUI-10058:The OUI Inventory on this system does not exist or is not writable. The possible POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE are:
1. The script. /orainstRoot.sh was not executed with root privileges, or an error occurred during execution.
2. You are not a member of the specified installer group.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The orainstRoot.sh script. has not set the permissions correctly potential/POSSIBLE CAUSE not executed as "root" user

The oracle user is a not a part of the particular group specified at the start of installation

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

Make sure that the script. is run as user "root"
Make sure that the particular oracle user is a part of the particular group specified at the start of installation is an existing one

Eg: to check the group "dba"
%cat /etc/group | grep dba
dba:x:502:oracle

(This means that the group "dba" exist , the group id is "502" and the user "oracle" is a part of the group "dba")

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
The OUI you are trying to use is an older version.So the de-installation cannot continue

For Eg:
When trying to de-install Oracle RDBMS 10.2 or later with a 10.1 OUI , you may encounter this error:

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Use the OUI specific to the Version of the Oracle software for de-installation.

For Eg:
De-installation of Oracle RDBMS 10.2 requires OUI 10.2 or later

OUI-10088
OUI-10088:This is a required component. You cannot de-select a required component.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
This error can occur when you try to de-select a required component.There may be dependencies with the component which you are trying to de-select

For EG:
When you are doing a custom installation of Oracle RDBMS and you are trying to de-select a required component, which is required for the functioning of Oracle RDBMS kernel, this message is displayed.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
