I'm creating an automated package in PDQ Deploy which installs the Oracle client, and some patches. Step 1 copies the staging files to the target, which completes successfully. Step 2 attempts to install the Oracle Client silently, and hangs indefinitely.
These are the commands I'm using for the silent install, any idea what's going wrong here? I'm using a template that I found here. The Oracle client version is 11.2.0.4.0
cd C:\PDQStaging\Oracle\64bit\client\
.\setup.exe -silent -debug -force -waitforcompletion
FROM_LOCATION=C:\PDQStaging\Oracle\64bit\client\stage\products.xml
oracle.install.client.installType=”Administrator”
ORACLE_HOME=”C:\Oracle\64bit\product\11.2.0\Client”
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=”OraClient11g_Home1″
ORACLE_BASE=”C:\Oracle”
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
I wanted to avoid using a response file since the above seems like a simpler solution.

I fixed it using a response file, after all.
