Oracle 12c installation got stuck at 54% while updating registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDB12Home1’

During the installation of oracle 12c ,i faced the issue that installation got stuck at 54% and after running for more than 5 to 6 hours have to cancel the operation.

INFO: updating registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDB12Home1’
INFO: updating registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDB12Home1’

The solution to this Error is simply when you are unzipping the folders unzip at one common folder as i have done

You will find components folders as shown below

D:\softwares\12coracle\winx64_12102_database_1of2\database\Components

D:\softwares\12coracle\winx64_12102_database_2of2\database\stage\Components

Please try to read the log details as shown in screenshot above,its showing the path where installation log are being created. The location was C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs \installActions2016-01-26_01-50-16AM.

After going through the logs i found that,In my case it was not able to find the files at below path during the installation

D:\softwares\12coracle\winx64_12102_database_1of2\database\stage\Components\oracle.rdbms\12.1.0.2.0\1\DataFiles

Because there was other unzipped part as shown below and it was unable to get the files at abovepath ย Hence i copied all the file from below path to the above path location

D:\softwares\12coracle\winx64_12102_database_2of2\database\stage\Components\oracle.rdbms\12.1.0.2.0\1\DataFiles

I ran the whole installation again and folks it completed in overall 55 mins the overall installation with the plugable and container database configuration itself.

Hope ….it will work for everyone ,As this was the issue where HKEY registry updating is getting hung ..

Enjoy..

    Thanks for posting this. I had the exact same issue at 54% and now it’s on its way to finishing installation.

  2. SG says:

    Thank you. It worked for me too! I copied all the subdirectories from the _2of2/database/stage/Components to the _1of2/database/stage/Components

  3. Jay Jivani says:

    It is Working, Thank you very much :).
    copy all Components from “D:\softwares\12coracle\winx64_12102_database_2of2\database\stage\Components” to “D:\softwares\12coracle\winx64_12102_database_1of2\database\stage\Components”

    and Run setup…!!!

    you saved my ass xD but this article helped me too https://community.oracle.com/thread/3943263

    we have to put the part2-of2 extract files of database/stage/components/ inside the part1-of2 extract folder in database/stage/components/ so that while it’s installing the 12c it will take the appropriate reference.

    this solved my problem.

    Thanx for this invaluable information. The Oracle people should be ashamed, that their “Flagship”-product is not installable without Your information.

    Hi Nehaji,

    Thanks a lot.I was struggling two days to figure it out. I got installed in just 35 minutes only.

    I am a retired person, would like to master OBIEE. My next task is to install Fusion Middleware. I tried yesterday. I got error after extracting i.e. infrastructure jar file. After that, I have to try OBIEE. Can you please guide me how to install these i.e. Fusion and OBIEE.

    Thanking you once again,

    Sridhar

  22. Mathews Mubanga says:

    Wooow finally it has worked. Thank you so much for this info

  23. Sridhar V says:

    Hi Nehaji,

    I have successfully installed OBIEE 12c with db 12c and fusion. Now my system with windows 10 is running ver slow. I hav Dell with 2.4 ghz and 4 gb ddr4 ram. I cannot practice with this slow running. Is there any way to fine tune? If nothing couild be done, please suggest me a immediate lower version of OBIEE with suitable db and middleware.
    Warm regards

    • nehakohlidba says:

      Hi shridhar ji great u got it successfully installed, yes the RAM is quite low u may need 8GB RAM, and u can do one thing whenever u want to work at that time just enable all the services else disable it bcoz if its all enabled while ur laptop start then also it gets slow.
      Also i will suggest to increase it virtually so it can help u a bit, and u rbusing upgraded version thats a greatest part i wont suggest for lower version.

      • Sridhar V says:

        Hi Nehaji,

        Thanks for your immediate reply. I will upgrade the RAM now. But I have new dell inspiron 5559 i5 processor 2.3o ghz and how will I know whether it is ddr3 or ddr4. More over we have to match bus speed of the existing one.

        Also please let me know which one i.e. obiee 12c or 11.1.1.7.1 is prospective for employment.

        With regards

  24. nehakohlidba says:

    Hi Shridhar JI ,

    The RAM will be DDR4 i suppose , and i guess you can take to the DELL center they can properly guide you up and upgrade it, it wont cost more than 3K , employment perspective both are fine but yes we must go with the latest enhanced versions also we must know the new features which came in new releases.For the time being you can increase Memory virtually

    go to -> system properties -> advance -> performance -> Advanced -> virtual memory -> from automatic change to custom and increase that MB size.

    Hope i answered your queries any time you can reach me for any issues.
    Cheers !!!

    Regards,
    Neha

    • Sridhar V says:

      Hi Nehaji,

      Thanks for your prompt reply. I will contact dell centre and upgrade RAM.

      Warm regards

        Hi Nehaji,

        I have successfully installed OBIEE 12c and ran a report after creating a datamodel. Now I hav a problem. While logging sqlplus it was asking userid and password. I gave them as i created while installing oracle db. Please tell me how to know the userid and password.

        Do we need to install oracle BI developer tool? If yes, how to install them.

        I am starting the server manually. Is there any short cut to place it on desktop?
