Installing any commercial software on a newly certified operating system often leads to a journey of discovery. In this case, Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.9 installed on Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 raises an alarming error during the installation process.
The crash warning above occurred during an Enterprise Install on a freshly built Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 server. After some digging on Oracle Support I ran across the following Bug Report
Bug 20597365 : SOFTWARE ONLY INSTALLATION OF 97% OCCUR C0000135/SAWSERVER.EXE CRASH ON WIN2012
Fortunately, according to the following support document, the installation process was successful and the error can be safely ignored. This defect and related support document are specific to Oracle BI 11.1.1.7, but I believe that will be updated to include the latest version once Oracle support catches up with the new release.
OBIEE 11g – APPCRASH at 97% of Software Only Installation on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit (Doc ID 1996077.1)
