if
  the '[' and ']' are descriptive rather than actual characters, and   that you've checked the read visibility of the source to the userid   doing the install,
then
  is the proposed target directory on the local machine, and   visible to the userid, and
  empty (optional, but a possible reason), and   not locked, and
  in read-write mode?

If that doesn't work, is it possible the inventory directory (frequently C:\Program Files\Oracle ... is read/only or locked, or perhaps the inventory itself?

Nor hidden characters, or other characters unacceptable to Windows?

The volunteers here use the forum name to screen the types of questions, as we all read and respond in most of the forums.

Please reread this and ask yourself honestly whether that is the kind of interaction you yourself would appreciate from people when volunteering.
