Problem:

When installing an E-Business Suite R12 Vision instance, the following error appears:

RW-50004: Error code received when running external process. Check log file for details.
Running APPL_TOP Install Driver for VIS12 instance

Step 3 of 5
Command: G:oracleVIS12instappsVIS12_appswindows2tempadrunias.cmd

Solution:

2. In $INST_TOP/temp/restart.xml, change line:

FROM:

<installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">"runProcess_1"</installprocess>

TO:

<installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">runProcess_1</installprocess>

Use restart option to retry the installation.

Issue occurs due to the extra quotes i.e. “”runProcess_1″” seen in the error (from install log) and related only if restarting the installation as it reads restart.xml. Issue can be confirmed by looking at value for variable s_rerunprocess in restart.xml which will have quotes.  e.g.:

DB Node: <Base install>/inst/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/temp/restart.xml
APPS Node: $INST_TOP/temp/restart.xml

<installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">"runProcess_1"</installprocess>

To implement the solution, please execute one of the following steps:

1. Open for edit restart.xml file:
DB Node: <Base install>/inst/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/temp/restart.xml
APPS Node: $INST_TOP/temp/restart.xml

NOTE: Depending on when the failure occurred, it will depend on which restart.xml file is to be modified

Changed:

<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<!-- This File is generated on the fly and will not be found after a successful install -->
<!-- $Rapid Install$ -->
<oa_context version="$Revision: 120.19 $">
   <!-- Restart install information -->
   <oa_install>
      <installstate oa_var="s_rerun">Install@G:oracleVIS12instappsVIS12_appswindows2appladminVIS12_appswindows2.xml,adrunias.cmd</installstate>
      <installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">"runProcess_2"</installprocess>
      <installscript oa_var="s_masterscript">G:oracleVIS12instappsVIS12_appswindows2tempadrunias.cmd</installscript>
      <installdriver oa_var="s_masterdriver">FALSE</installdriver>
   </oa_install>
</oa_context>

To:

<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<!-- This File is generated on the fly and will not be found after a successful install -->
<!-- $Rapid Install$ -->
<oa_context version="$Revision: 120.19 $">
   <!-- Restart install information -->
   <oa_install>
      <installstate oa_var="s_rerun">Install@G:oracleVIS12instappsVIS12_appswindows2appladminVIS12_appswindows2.xml,adrunias.cmd</installstate>
      <installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">runProcess_2</installprocess>
      <installscript oa_var="s_masterscript">G:oracleVIS12instappsVIS12_appswindows2tempadrunias.cmd</installscript>
      <installdriver oa_var="s_masterdriver">FALSE</installdriver>
   </oa_install>
</oa_context>

Then clicked Retry. It worked.

2. Change line:

FROM: <installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">"runProcess_1"</installprocess>
TO: <installprocess oa_var="s_rerunprocess">runProcess_1</installprocess>

Use restart option to retry the installation.

NOTE: It is also advised that the latest rapidwiz version be use, patch 6919017 -12.0.4.8
