Environment
OS - Windows 2008 R2 64-bit
Siebel version - 8.1.1.0
I was trying to setup a Siebel 8.1.1.0 environment on Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) server and the Siebel Enterprise configuration was failing each time while attempting to connect to the Gateway Name server. The software for the setup was downloaded from Oracle e-Delivery and looking up Siebel 64-bit installer for Windows.
The software that is available currently in eDelivery is the SES or OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) type of installer which has been in place since OpenUI was introduced. The previous version of the Siebel installer for the base 8.1.1.0 version was the InstallSheild one which I had successfully installed on many Windows 2008 servers.
Upon further investigation with running the installer in verbose mode, it is found that many files are missing from the gtwysrvr\bin directory (eg, commonutil) which is breaking the configuration process. It has been confirmed by Oracle that the SES or OUI version of the Siebel 8.1.1.0 (base) installer is not supported as a standalone installer for Siebel anymore. If you need to setup the OUI installer, it has to be patched to a version 8.1.1.8 or higher before starting the Enterprise Configuration.
Solution:
Login to Oracle support (support.oracle.com) with your credentials and search for the patch number '15892740'. Download the required version of software depending upon your OS, this is the Install Shield version of Siebel 8.1.1.0 Base version which needs to be installed in case you are setting up a Base standalone environment.
