I'm creating an automated package in PDQ Deploy which installs the Oracle client, and some patches. Step 1 copies the staging files to the target, which completes successfully. Step 2 attempts to install the Oracle Client silently, and hangs indefinitely.

These are the commands I'm using for the silent install, any idea what's going wrong here? I'm using a template that I found here. The Oracle client version is 11.2.0.4.0

cd C:\PDQStaging\Oracle\64bit\client\
.\setup.exe -silent -debug -force -waitforcompletion  
FROM_LOCATION=C:\PDQStaging\Oracle\64bit\client\stage\products.xml 
oracle.install.client.installType=”Administrator” 
ORACLE_HOME=”C:\Oracle\64bit\product\11.2.0\Client” 
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=”OraClient11g_Home1″ 
ORACLE_BASE=”C:\Oracle” 
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true

I wanted to avoid using a response file since the above seems like a simpler solution.

    Prob. an error while copying here, but some of your quotes are the wrong character ” vs ".

  • To determine whether a silent or response file mode installation succeeds or fails, check the silentInstallActionsdate_time.log file, located in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory

I fixed it using a response file, after all. 

C:\PDQStaging\Oracle\64bit\client\setup.exe -silent -nowelcome -nowait -responseFile C:\PDQStaging\Oracle\64bit\client_install.rsp
