Template General_Purpose.dbc does not exist.

Template General_Purpose.dbc does not exist. Please specify an existing template for database creation.

I got this error during the Installation of  11gR2.Did Install /UnInstall couple of times , but not able to resolve the issues.

Latter I Unzip both the Files Disk1/2 in One folder  ( Copied the Files Disk2>database>stage>components , in same location of Disk1).

And able to install it sucessfully.

Hope that helps

  5. I am trying to install oracle 11g into a VM. I unzipped both into the same directory *several* times. After each failure, I go back and try again - still no luck.

  12. You need to uninstall database and install it again. Go to Oracle_Home>>Deinstall and run Deinstall

  20. La plantilla General_Purpose.dbc no existe. Especifique una plantilla existente para la creación de la base de datos.

    Recibí este error durante la instalación de 11gR2. Lo instalé / desinstalé un par de veces, pero no pude resolver los problemas.

    Posteriormente, descomprimo los Archivos Disco 1/2 en una carpeta (Copié los Archivos Disco2> base de datos> etapa> componentes, en la misma ubicación del Disco1).
