That's the expected behaviour.
Whatever you try to do with the installer, you will end up in the 'Software asset manager'. From there you can start the database creation, by selecting RDBMS and PL/SQL in the left windows. Once chosen, press 'Install'.
The software will not be installed, but the installer will create the database and run the required scripts (catalog.sql and catproc.sql)
