From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Canaan Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 12:22 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Trouble Installing 11g Grid Control I've been trying to install Oracle 11g Grid Control (11.1.0.1) on a Solaris 10 zone (container) for almost a month now. I've opened an SR with Oracle, but am getting nowhere. The issue that I'm having is that partway through the install, at various places - not always the same place, the x-window that is running the installer disappears. I am using the Cygwin x-windows server on my PC. I've tried this on two different PC's, one is Windows XP 64-bit and the other is Windows XP 32-bit. I've installed the correct Java (jdk160_18). I've installed Weblogic, following the directions given to me by Oracle support. I've installed the WDJ7 patch to Weblogic. All I want is a basic install on a pretty vanilla Oracle database and environment. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how did you get around it? Does anyone have this running?
