When try to create a new ifs home using installer.cmd located inside IFSHOME or create a new instance using installer.cmd located  BUILDHOME/build_home/installer/os/windows, we got a below error

 

Error :

Error in Ant-script: server\install_fndmws.xml

Reported error is: The following error occurred while executing this line:

C:\ACS2_DEV2APP10\build_home\server\install_fndmws.xml:214: Failed to install Middelware Server! Error is: Exception when installing IFS Middleware Home: C:\IFS_ACS2_DEV2APP10\tmp\as\resources1188118356681766909\install_fndmws.xml:480: Failed to install Middleware Server. Error is:

--------------------------------------------------

Installation failed, process stopped, check the logfile.

 

It was resolved by below steps

  • Delete every services including Solr service for the instance - using cmd command
    • Using command "sc delete ServiceName"
  • Rename the existing IFS HOME
  • Remove the entry (DEVor BNT) in inventory.xml located C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\ContentsXML
  • Then try to create instance from build home

Here I found that the main step is to remove the relevant entry in inventory.xml located in C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\ContentsXML. 

I think in addition to the above, when creating a new IFS_Home you can also check the rogue inventory lock file which is relevant to this error.

 

To add something to this, if you do not want to manually edit the file, you can run below scripts to attach and detach Oracle Homes from the Central Inventory.

\\<IFS_HOME>\mw_home\mws\oui\bin\attachHome.cmd

\\<IFS_HOME>\mw_home\mws\oui\bin\detachHome.cmd

Of course you would not have this option if you are creating an instance from scratch.
