SOLUTION This issue can be resolved by manually running the OPMNCTL Command in another Window: - Start by running the 'opmnctl startall' command manually Then run the 'opmnctl status' command intermittently to check if the Services are now up and running as expected. The Installer should then continue to a successful completion once the OBI EE Services are up and running. Run these commands as necessary: - c:\MiddlewareHome\instances\instance1\bin> opmnctl startall And to check its progress you can run this command: c:\MiddlewareHome\instances\instance1\bin> opmnctl status And if required (to start again) : c:\MiddlewareHome\instances\instance1\bin> opmnctl stopall Some additional useful information : 1) Having Database connectivity is essential when Installing and logging into the OBI EE Presentation Services so having the Database (and Oracle TNS Listener up, if applicable) running is very important. If you are having installation problems with 11g please ensure that your Database is up and running and canbe connected to by the BI Server machine. 2) Some installation issues can be caused by this known issue with your Windows configuration. Please review the OBI EE 11g Release Notes document : - Section 53.2.8 Oracle BI Installer Stops at Administrator User Details Screen "If you attempt to install on a Windows machine that is using DHCP, does not have a primary DNS suffix, and does not have a loopback adapter configured, then the Oracle BI installer will stop at the screen prompting for the Administrator user details. This appears as a red cross in the tree on the left hand side of the installer. This issue is caused by the installer not being able to resolve the IP address to a hostname. The workaround is to configure a loopback adapter or primary DNS suffix" http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/biee.htm#CACEFIAG
