File not found : F:\ORACLE_HOME\owb\*.ear while installing Oracle 11gR2( 11.2.0.1) Database.


This is a peculiar type of issue we faced while installing Oracle 11g R2 in the Windows 2008 server.

Os Details - Windows 2008 SP2 (x64)
 Software details  - Oracle Database 11g R2 version 11.2.0.1

While the installation was in progress in the GUI suddenly the installer screen got exited with this error, 

File not found : F:\ORACLE_HOME\owb\*.ear

First looking into the error we suspected the source files been corrupted, so we copied another source file and ended up with same error, turning to support.oracle documents we found the issue is not due to the installation file it's due to extracting the two zip files in two diff locations.

The solution to overcome this problem is to extract both the source zip files in same folder before proceeding with the installation of the Oracle 11g R2.
