Oracle is shipping an old version of psapi.dll which is being used during installation.
This results in invalid configuration.
To avoid this, do the following:
- Start the Installer
- Copy the PSAPI.DLL file
from C:\WINDOWS\System32
to the temporary folder used by the Installer
(e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_ACCOUNT\Local Settings\Temp\OraInstall2008-09-22_08-20-35AM)
and mark it "Read-only" to prevent the Installer from overwriting it
- Continue the installation
If, during the installation, you get an error message like
"The procedure entry point GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be located in the dynamic link library PSAPI.DLL",
then you must:
- Abort and remove the installation (if you complete it, it will claim to be successful, which is not true)
- Restart the installer, following the instructions above
