I believe that happens if you don't create a Listener before trying to create the database. But I could be wrong.

When the installation tells you file not found errors and asks for '/preinstall_rac/' files, that's the Assistant's novel way of demanding that you re-insert the CD onto which you burnt the cluster file system download. If you don't have such a CD (because you copied the download direct to hard disk) then simply re-insert Disk 1, because that has a preinstall_rac directory, too.

Quite why the Assistant thinks this is an appropriate way to ask you to re-insert an earlier CD, I have no idea.

It's a "feature", I guess.

I tend to find that if you follow the contents of any paper *exactly*, you can usually duplicate the results. But if you start inventing steps that aren't in a paper, you are not likely to get anywhere successful.

In any case, why don't you contact the author direct. I see there's an email address at the end of the paper for just that purpose.
