Step 2. Alter the Windows Registry
Delete the relevant Oracle components from the Windows registry, as follows.
To delete a specific instance (in the case that there are multiple EBS instances or other Oracle software on the system):
Launch the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareORACLEAPPLICATIONS12.0.0 key.
Delete the entry corresponding to the instance to be deleted.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrent Control SetServices.
Carefully select and delete each Oracle service corresponding to the instance you wish to delete. For example, if you wish to delete “PROD”, delete “OraclePROD_<nodename>_ToolsASControl”.
When you are finished, exit the Registry Editor.
To delete all Oracle environments on the system:
Launch the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware key.
Select the Apache Group subkey and delete it.
Select the Oracle subkey and delete it.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrent Control SetServices.
Carefully select and delete each service beginning with Oracle. For example, delete “OraclePROD_<nodename>_ToolsASControl”.
When you are finished, exit the Registry Editor.

——————————————————————————–
Change NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS environment variable from 16 to 12.
Under System Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables, under System Variables, changed NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS from 16 to 12.
Clean failed installation, rebooted computer and restarted installation.
When computer rebooted, NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS reset to 16.
Reset NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS to 12, opened new Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) and then restarted Rapid Wizard.

Hi Vasudev
I faced this Error While Installing EBS R12.2.5 in Linux Box. Received Same Error. My Installation was Stuck at Step 2 of 8 During run of adrundb.sh script.
Could You Please Tell me how to reduce the no of processors to less than 12 in VMWARE ON OEL5.6
