Error during Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples Installation

Hi All


This is the error that I got during the installation of  Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples.


Reproduce Issue:
1. Download and extract the  Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples to /11G_examples folder
2. cd  /11G_examples/examples
3. ./runInstaller
 Here the Error:
INS-32016  The selected Oracle home contains directories or files.
INS-32018  The selected Oracle home is outside of Oracle base.
INS-32025  The chosen installation conflicts software already installed in the given Oracle home.
INS-32018  Oracle Database Examples can only be installed into an existing Oracle Home. 


Reason:
!!!Seems that this is the Rapid Installer bug!!!


Action Plan (workaround):
1. Go to $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
2. Run ./runInstaller.sh
3. Change the source product file to  /11G_examples/examples/stage/product.xml 
 4. Next
 5. Next
 6. Install

 7. Exit. Now Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples were installed successfully.
Good Luck ...

    Thanks for the suggestion! I was banging my head on the desk trying to figure out what was going on. :) Worked once I used the Universal Installer.

    I tried this, but when I enter the path to the products.xml file, it gives me an error:

    "There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified value for 'Source' is valid."

    I know the path is correct, not sure why it isn't accepting it...any ideas?
