Oracle client installation error - path too long

Question

I\'m trying to install Oracle 11g Release 2 (client). But it gives an error like that :

Environment variable: \"PATH\" - This test checks whether the length          


        

Answer 1

One way of fixing this is to go to stage\cvu in the installer directory and edit cvu_prereq.xml, replace all values (there are multiple ones) containing 1023 with a larger number and then try to install it again.

Might need to do this after running the installer but before the installer does the check on the different requirements like the PATH length.
