oracle oui setup.exe crashes on windows 7

I recently faced an issue that after installing and configuring IDM domain, when i tried to run the config.bat for oim server the script was crashing on my windows 7 OS. The problems faced by me are mentioned below along with the causes and solutions.

  1. Problem: Setup.exe has stopped working; Solution: Try placing the JDK in a directory that does not contain spaces and make sure that if you are using windows 7 64 bit OS the jre is also 64 bit. To specify the jre location to the config script place it in the config.bat script as mentioned in below snippet.

    1
    %ORACLE_HOME%\oui\bin\setup.exe %ARGS% -debug -jreLoc C:\jdk1.6.0_18\jre
    

    The above snippet also enables debugging which is helpful in fixing any other issues that you might face.
  2. Problem: Setup.exe crashes with FileNotFoundException, This problem was happening because of the fact that config.bat specifies an additional parameter *“-oneclick”* which causes the setup.exe to look for *oneclick.properties*; Solution: This property is not required so open the config.bat and remove this property.

  3. Problem: JVM crashes with access violation exception, This problem causes jvm to dump the process state and occurs due to compatibility issue A small snippet of process dump that shows the issue is mentioned below ; Solution: Go to the setup.exe process in oui/bin directory and under the compatibility tab for the process check  disable visual themes and desktop composition .
