Thanks for this. I had previously installed 11g R2 under Windows 7, but I was
having a lot of trouble getting 12c installed on Windows 8 . until I found this blog
post! So far so good. I am 62% of the way through the Database Configuation
Assistant stage. I would just add two little details: 1. It looks like its probably a
good idea to turn the firewall off during the whole installation process (I did not, and
there were at least two points at which I had to allow access manually during the
installation). 2. If during the installation you encounter any file not found errors,
this is (probably) due to the downloaded files being corrupted so just download
them over again! Thanks again!

Thats strange. It should not happen. Are you trying to install it on certified
version of windows ?
Installation should take about 30 minutes.

According to metalink on Windows. I suggest to download again software
possible corruption.
1. Enable administrative share for C$ (Please check with your System
Admin to do this or See Microsoft document
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314984)
2. Check that it is ok:
- net use \\\c$ should work
- the current user (i.e. user in administrator group) should have all privileges
on the default share
3. Retry the installation
4. Remove the administrative share again
