Oracle RAC installation fails on Windows 2022 with INS-08109 – CRSNodeInformationUI

Installing Oracle RAC in Windows is always an adventure, specially in Windows 2022 that was released after Oracle Database 19c launched.

If you are receiving this error:

# For WARNING:  [Apr 9, 2026 12:49:37 PM] [WARNING] [INS-08109] Unexpected error occurred while validating inputs at state 'CRSNodeInformationUI'.
   CAUSE: No additional information available.
   ACTION: Contact Oracle Support Services or refer to the software manual.
   SUMMARY:
       - oracle.ops.mgmt.nativesystem.WindowsNative.getWindDomain(Ljava/lang/String;Loracle/ops/mgmt/nativesystem/NativeResult;)V.

First, click on details and ensure the error is the same you see above. If this is the case, this is a known issue.

To fix it manually, you need to update orasrvm19.dll from $GRID_HOME\bin to $GRID_HOME\oui\lib\win64.

Example, using PowerShell:

robocopy "C:\app\grid\19.0.0\bin" "C:\app\grid\19.0.0\oui\lib\win64" "orasrvm19.dll" /COPYALL /R:0 /W:0

After that, retry and check if the error disappeared.
