Oracle XE installation aborts with no error explanation


I have downloaded Oracle XE 18c for Windows 64 bit, and tried to install it on a Windows 10 machine. I checked the SHA-256 checksum and it's correct.

The installation starts fine, but when it's copying new files it suddenly says "Rolling back installation", then ends and there's no error log to look at. Any ideas?

(1) "Copying files" screen

(2) "Rolling back" screen

(3) "Finished with errors" screen enter image description here


Solution

  • I run "setup.exe" as administrator instead of "Oracle Database 18c Express Edition.msi" and it worked perfectly.
