"[INS-10102] Installer initialization failed ... An unexpected error occured while initializing the Installer" when installing Oracle 12c 32-bit client on Controller application server

Troubleshooting


Problem

Because the Controller application server contains a small portion of 32-bit code (in addition to the vast majority of 64-bit code) it is necessary to install both the Oracle 64-bit and 32-bit clients (on the application server). Administrator therefore installs the Oracle 12c 64-bit client first. This is successful. Afterwards, the administrator attempts to launch the Oracle 12c 32-bit client installer (setup.exe). An error appears.

Symptom

The error message/symptom will vary depending on environment.

Example: Windows 2016
