Version:
WLS 12.1.1 installation in Linux 64 bit
Issue:
On invoking the silent mode installation, getting the following mesage:
"The local BEA product registry is corrupted. Please select another Middleware Home or contact Oracle Support"
Command:
java -jar wls1211_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=./silent.xml -log=wlsinstall.log
Reason:
Check for correct spelling and case in the silent.xml file. If there is any mismatch then you may get this error.
For eg: in my silent.xml file in the COMPONENT_PATHS section I used "WebLogic Server/Configuration Wizard and upgrade Framework" instead of "WebLogic Server/Configuration Wizard and Upgrade Framework".
The only difference was that I used a small case for 'u'pgrade instead of 'U'pgrade.
Also make sure that the entire COMPONENT_PATHS comes in a single line inside the xml file and there is no space between pipe delimiters.
Solution:
Corrected the case in silent.xml. The installation was successful this time.
bash-3.2$ java -jar wls1211_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=./silent.xml -log=wlsinstall.log
