Cannot install Oracle 11g client with error OUI-10037

I am trying to install Oracle 11g client on my box that currently has Oracle 9i installed. I keep getting this error when I click NEXT as the wizard starts:

OUI-10037:Unable to set up inventory. You may not have the proper permissions

Since I am logg开发者_开发百科ed in as a local Admin, this doesn't make much sense. The ONLY thing I've found on another forum was to remove the file "oraInst.loc" from my machine. But I cannot find that file anywhere on my system.

I'd really appreciate if someone can advise on a solution to this problem...

Thanks

You must run the orainstRoo.sh and then touch /oraInventory/test.txt, that works for me. Greetings
