I should have went on to say that no errors were generated or logfiles created during the install. The is the second time I have seen this, and was surprised I did not find anything on metalink.oracle.com. I am almost positive the issue is Java, but was wondering how others overcome the problem (i.e. what software did they have to remove, did they change a reg value, etc.) So far none of the Oracle solutions I found on Metalink have helped. The installer just dies after running setup, and nothing is installed.
