I google it and found xming as solution. But is there any solution to install weblogic without xming.

Solution

  • You need to do a silent install as mentioned. You can find the documentation here.

    Basically, you need two files:

    • A response file

    Here, you will set some parameters like ORACLE_HOME, proxy information if needed and installation type, etc.

    • An oraInst.loc file

    In this file, you need to do the following(from documentation):

    Replace oui_inventory_directory with the full path to the directory where you want the installer to create the inventory directory. Then, replace oui_install_group with the name of the group whose members have write permissions to this directory.

    After doing all of this, you can run the command as follows;

    java -jar distribution_name.jar -silent -responseFile file [-options] [()*]

    I uploaded my own oraInst.loc and response files here for demonstration. I strongly suggest you to read the documentation though. Good luck.
