Creating Reports Tools Components Fails During Forms Configuration

Jul 10, 2012

During the configuration of Oracle Forms & Reports (running config.bat), if the step “Creating reports tools components” fails, check the following:

  1. Open up Control Panel –> Administrative Tools –> Services
  2. Check for the service Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
  3. If the service is running, you will need to turn off the Windows service for the rest of the installation.
  4. You may be prompted that it will turn off a couple other services. Click OK.
  5. You will need to deinstall the Oracle Forms configuration (along with deleting the asinst_1 and user_projects folders).
  6. Restart the Forms & Reports configuration (config.bat)
