I've seen this before but on a Linux box. I use Oracle on Linux and I had some problems with the installer. Eventually I found workarounds. At one stage, I had this problem with the message file. I managed to find out that I had to set an environment variable to point to the root oracle installation directory. I did this in one of the .bash_profile script in the oracle login directory. The environment directory was ORACLE_ROOT. I also had to set the ORACLE_SID.
The setup I used on Linux is as follows:
[root_at_basingwerk oracle]# cat .bash_profile # .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/OraHome1/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME=""
ORACLE_SID=ORCL
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome1
export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH ORACLE_SID export ORACLE_HOME
[root_at_basingwerk oracle]# cd OraHome1/ [root_at_basingwerk OraHome1]# ls
admin database javavm md ord root.sh.old t.sh assistants dbs jdbc network otrace scripts udump backup doc jlib ocommon plsql slax bdump grep ldap odg precomp sqlj bin install lib oracore rdbms sqlplus ctx install.platform logs oradata root.sh svrmgr[root_at_basingwerk OraHome1]#
