Installing ODI 11.1.1.7.0 on Windows 7 64bit

It sould be easy to install any software nowadays, but it is not. Specially painful is installation of packages from big companies, because these are huge packages with lot of dependencies.

My last challenge was to install Oracle ODI Studio on my laptop and it was real problem to even start the installer. After some investigation I find this article from google, that solve my problem.

Some important points that I discovered:
  1. Win7 64bit jre and oracle installer are working together (despite some posts that claim otherwise)
  2. Command order to start Oracle ODI installer
    run cmd.exe as Administrator (It does not work without it, despite installer asks Administrator password)
    setup.exe -jreLoc C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_29
Honestly I am disappointed that this information is not provided in Oracle readme :-(
