Oracle / OUI-10038
Case
Trying to install Oracle Agent on a Windows XP SP2 desktop, I get the following error:
ERROR: OUI-10038:You do not have the necessary permissions to write to the inventory at \Oracle\Inventory. Please make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to perform the installation.
Fix
Edit the registry. For the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\inst_loc, replace the value \Oracle\Inventory with C:\Oracle\Inventory
