Hi Kellyn I made a new try to re-install oem12c on windows 8 and the same error occured again. The log file is showing the following error INFO: Executing the command C:\oem12c\jdk16/jdk/bin/java -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\oem12c\.wlsinstall_temp -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -jar C:\Users\Mohamed\Downloads\02 Oracle software\Oracle oem 12c\oem_12c*\/wls/*wls1035_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=C:\oem12c\.wlsinstall_temp\wls.xml -log=C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2014-04-28_09-01-27PM.log.wls -log_priority=debug INFO: ERROR STREAM: Unable to access jarfile C:\Users\Mohamed\Downloads\02 INFO: Return value is 1 INFO: POPUP ERROR:Installation of Oracle WebLogic Server has failed, check log files for more details. INFO: ERROR: Installation of Oracle WebLogic Server has failed, check log files for more details. I have put in red what seems to be important in the above error message The wls1035_generic.jar exist here C:\Users\Mohamed\Downloads\02 Oracle software\Oracle oem 12c\oem_12c\wls And the installation program is trying to get it from here C:\Users\Mohamed\Downloads\02 Oracle software\Oracle oem 12c\oem_12c*\/wls/* From where this extra slash is comming from?
