Oracle SOA 12c Installation Issue: "The jar file C:\Oraclefmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart2.jar needed for this installer is missing"

Hello friends, 

In this blog, I have explained the solution of the Issue which I have got while installing the jDeveloper12c.

During my installation process of 12c jDev 12.2.1.0.0 when I run the below java command:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin>java -jar C:\Oracle\OraclejDev12c-05May2018\fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of2\fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar

I have received a runtime exception and the installation failed with below log error details:

Launcher log file is C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2018-05-06_06-33-32PM\launcher2018-05-06_06-33-32PM.log.

Solution Solution Solution!!! which I tried to resolve this issue along with explanation is:------------------------

When we download any version of 12c JDeveloper (Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition) from Oracle site. The Product Installation of 12c JDeveloper comes on 2 parts:

·         fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of2.zip

·         fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_2of2.zip

And when we unzip this file, the folder structure will be

fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of2àfmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar

fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_2of2àfmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart2.jar

This issue gets occurs when you have not copied both the unzip jar to the same folder and the error will be “The jar file C:\Oracle\OraclejDev12c-05May2018\fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of2\fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart2.jar needed for this installer is missing.”

Copy the jar“fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar” and “fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart2.jar” to the same folder(I have copied inside CommonjarFiles) to resolve this issue and then run the command:

Java –jar Oracle_SOA_12c_firstexceutable_Jar_FileLocation

Java –jar C:\Oracle\OraclejDev12c-05May2018\CommonjarFiles\fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar

Hope this will be useful. Please comment your feedback, so that others also get help.

Thank you J
