Run the “Oracle Workflow Builder” as Administrator. You may create a shortcut on the desktop and change the properties to run as administrator permenently. Without administrator rights, this legacy software will fail to read the registry values, thus end up producing the error mentioned with this thread

Observe the additional entries added with the PATH environment string.

Amend your backed up PATH string with the new entries and replace the PATH string.

    Hi – I run WIN 10, 11g db. I don’t understand what you mean by “Backup….1000 characters.” Can you explain that in more detail, or with images?

    Right now, I’ve set the compatibility settings and skipped the portion that I don’t understand. I get to the black window, looks similar to your example, and the window just closes. Any ideas?

    1. Your System environment variable “PATH” has to be backed up, it means. For example, if the PATH environment variable has more than 1000 characters entries, Oracle installer will fail.
