Oracle 11g R2 Client (11.2.0.1)

I am trying to install the Oracle 11g R2 client using this command line:

"\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\x86\Install\OUI.exe" -waitforcompletion -nowait -noconsole -force -silent -responsefile ""\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\HCIScripts\ClientODBC.rsp"

and the installation just disappears. I look at the InstallActionsxxx.log and it only has two lines:

Using paramFile: \\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\x86\Install\oraparam.ini
The commandline for unzip:

After removing the -noconsole switch I discovered that setup doesn't understand that I'm passing a response file. I'm getting a [INS-10103] Response file is nto specified for this session" message. The console ends with press any key to continue and when I do, the setup ends.

Why doesn't it see that I've included a response file? I've verified that the response file exists because I can cut and past the response file from my command line and open it in notepad.

You can all sleep soundly tonight, the problem has been solved!

As it turns out, the problem is that the -responseFile switch is case sensitive! (please note the capital 'F').

Where do i find deinstall.rsp? I tried the following with system account & it's not working for me.

 "C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client\deinstall\deinstall.bat" -silent 

I see a deinstall.rsp.tmpl file under response folder do i need to change the name & use a -deinstall switch?

Yes, I forgot to mention that have tried both setup.exe and OUI.exe. I get the same result.

Looks like a quoting issue to me, in that you have two leading quote marks in front of the RSP path and name and only one trailing quote mark. Try either:"\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\x86\Install\OUI.exe" -waitforcompletion -nowait -noconsole -force -silent -responsefile "\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\HCIScripts\ClientODBC.rsp"or"\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\x86\Install\OUI.exe" -waitforcompletion -nowait -noconsole -force -silent -responsefile ""\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\HCIScripts\ClientODBC.rsp""or"\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\x86\Install\OUI.exe" -waitforcompletion -nowait -noconsole -force -silent -responsefile "\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle~1\HCIScr~1\Client~1.rsp"or "\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle 11g R2 Client\x86\Install\OUI.exe" -waitforcompletion -nowait -noconsole -force -silent -responsefile \\hcidalas50\sandbox$\Oracle~1\HCIScr~1\Client~1.rsp

did you record the rsp yourself or did you use the existing one and tried hacking it

Honestly, I don't remember how I created the response file. I did just create a new response file via the OUI GUI, but I got the same result (by that I mean that my installation just disappeared without really doing anything - I haven't tried it without the -NOCONSOLE switch).

OK, using short path/file names, and my test.rsp that I just created, I'm getting a step further.

Now my installActions log shows:
\\hcidalas50\sandbox$\oracle~1\x86\install\unzip -qqqo ..\stage\Components\oracle.jdk\1.5.0.17.03\1\DataFiles/"*.jar" -d "C:\Users\jtrask\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2010-08-31_10-36-14AM"

I've also tried using a mapped drive and short path names, but I continue to have the same problem. I've stripped the command line down to just using the -silent and -responsefile switches.

I have even copied the installation files to my C: drive and installed from there using short path names, enclosed in quotes with just the -silent and -responsefile switches along with my test.rsp.

Has anyone tried to uninstall Oracle 11g R2 using the System Account?

I assume, you already have a deinstall.rsp file.
Yes, I was able to uninstall it without any issues.
