Because the operating system of my remote desktop computer that I am using for work prevents me from executing EXE files, I am now trying to find a workaround in order to use the software. These are the steps that I have taken so far:
KNIME Analytics Platform for Windows (zip archive) from here and unzipped it to C:\Users\username\Downloads\knime_4.6.3.CMD file, created by a colleauge, placed it in the very same folder and executed it in order to start the program. The contents of the file are as follows:@echo off

This opened a Preferences window with a tree structure set to the leaf Install/Update -> Available Software Sites.Location column form https to http in order to avoid having trouble with firewalls blocking traffic and clicked on Apply and Close.File -> Install KNIME Extensions....KNIME & Extensions, checked KNIME JDBC Driver For Oracle Database and clicked Next > twice.I accept the terms of the license agreement and clicked Finish.Software Updates window opened, asking me the question Restart KNIME Analytics Platform to apply the software update?, I did not click on Restart Now but closed the program completely and executed the CMD file once again in order to start KNIME.KNIME workflow, I went to the KNIME Explorer and right-clicked on LOCAL (Local Workspace) and then on New KNIME Workflow....Name of the workflow to create: and clicked Finish. This opened a new tab window in the middle of the screen with the name of my workflow.Node Repository, I selected the node DB -> Connection and looked for the leaf Oracle Connector.KNIME first prompted these messages to its console with a lot of ERROR DBDriverRegistry messages and two warnings:

Taking a look at java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.knime.database.driver.DBDriverRegistry$DriverClassLoader, I cannot understand why this problem arises. There is a folder called plugins\org.knime.database_4.6.0.v202205251236 which contains a JAR file named knime-db-core.jar. Inside this JAR file, there is a folder path \org\knime\database\driver which contains a subclass file DBDriverRegistry$DriverClassLoader.class.
Why is it not found and initialised during execution?
The CMD file was created according to the information that can be found in the knime.ini file. We suppose that something with the Java classpath is still not quite right in order to make the program work properly. Or can the solution be found somewhere else? Can this problem ever be solved or is it impossible to use KNIME in such a way? What can be done to make KNIME work under such circumstances?
This post in the KNIME forum helped to solve the problem.
My solution for KNIME 4.6.3 is as follows:
@echo off

It does not work for the most recent version KNIME 4.7.0 but with a few adaptions, we should be able to start and use this version as well.
