Especially check to manual for instructions concerning the assignment of <ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES>

I have not performed the procedure you describe, but the appearance of:

        %ORACLE_HOME%\%ORACLE_DBS%
in the error message would make me suspect that you need to set both of these environment vars before attempting to create a database.

I'd search the index for ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_DBS to find their usage.
