Managed to solve that re-creating the install image and installing the SWSE again. Probably an installation issue.

Troubleshooting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error on Siebel Configuration Wizard

While trying to run Siebel Configuration Wizard (version 8.1.1.5), I've faced following error:

After some research, figured out that setup.jar file was corrupt.

It can be checked by running "jar -tf" command:

/siebel/siebsrvr/bin-> jar -tf setup.jar
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)

The correct output should be:

To solve the problem, I've just copied setup.jar from a working environment and re-ran config command.

How to troubleshoot CreateOUIProcess(): 5 error on Oracle Universal Installer

Hi everyone.

Recently, during a Siebel Web Client install, I faced an odd error when launching Oracle Universal Installer.

The error was: CreateOUIProcess(): 5

After some research, I figured out that this is caused because of my temp folder.

By default, my TEMP environment variable is configured to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp, which was causing the error in the installation.

In my case, I changed this variable to D:\temp and, after that, I was able to lanch the installer as expected.
