Are you using Windows 8 Home Edition? Oracle requires Professional or Enterprise Edition.

Did you run the installation using an operating system user that has administrator privileges, as required?

Did you encounter any other errors other than the file not found errors shown?

Can you locate and post the installation log?

Please click on the link below for a section of the Oracle online documentation on Troubleshooting the Oracle Database Installation.

Are you using Windows 8 Home or Windows 8 Professional or what?

From your operating system control panel:

Control Panel\System and Security\System

Under Windows Edition, does it say Windows 8 Home or Windows 8 Professional or what?

Please see the following thread where another person had the same file not found error during installation and see if the advice there helps.

I had to fix your image link. I can now see the image.

I see what you mean about single language. I would have expected home or professional or some such thing to be there instead.

I think the last link that I posted has your problem and a solution. It has both the installation stopped at 59% and the missing files error
and the explanation and workaround makes sense.

That error implies that your previous attempted installation is still running and both cannot run at the same time.

At this point, you might want to try uninstalling, re-starting your computer, and starting over fresh.

Aborted installations can leave a half-finished mess behind that can be hard to work around.

I have not followed all the links posted by Barbara, but let me ask the obvious ...
This error (file not found during installation) usually comes because you didn't unzip the two downloaded zip files into the same directory ...
So ... after you downloaded two zip files, did you unzip them into the SAME directory? By default, Windows doesn't like to do that, and throws up a warning so that you have to tell windows "yes, I know what I'm doing."

Did you use the default options to create a database during the installation or do a custom installation?

If you just did a standard installation, then there should be a database.
You may be able to access such a database through SQL*Plus and may have a separate issue with the configuration assistant.
I am using Windows 10 nowadays. It has been a long time since I used Windows 8, so I don't remember exactly how things were back then.
You should be able to click on start or something like that in the lower left corner of your screen.
Then scroll through your applications, find Oracle, find SQL*Plus and click on that. From there try:

CONNECT SYS AS SYSDBA

SELECT banner FROM v$version;

Please try those and post the results, then we can go from there, based on what you get.
If you can, please post a copy and paste into your reply here, instead of an image or a link to an image.
That makes it easier for everybody to read.

hi barbara,

yes i use the default option to create a data base during installation.
i was just following the video tutorial entitle: infinite skills: learning oracle 12c by steve reis.

ihave created a shortcut of sqldeveloper.exe in my desktop but i cant open it.
i also have JRE installed so this has nothing to do with java problems
i checked in my control panel in the programs to see if there were orace and sql installed
but they are non existent in the running programs from control panel.

how do i check if i had the oracle Db installed?

thanks

Don't use SQL Developer. Don't use the control panel.

Left click, not right, on the lower left Start, and find something like programs or all apps, look for Oracle,
then under that look for SQL*Plus. SQL*Plus might be under application development or something like that.

Click on SQL*Plus. It should open up a new window, then type:

CONNECT SYS AS SYSDBA

SELECT banner FROM v$version;

and copy and paste the results into your response in this thread.

The results should tell us if there is a database.
There may be other issues as to whether it is started and so forth.
There are other things that can be run from an operating system prompt,
but I think it is better to start with this.

For user-name type:

SYS AS SYSDBA

Leave the password blank and just hit the enter key.

We need to see if you can get that far. If so, then we can see about connecting as another
user, such as the scott account. But first, we need to see if you can get that far.
You may need to start the listener and database and unlock the scott account.
Please see the brief demonstration below. Your prompt will probably just say

SQL>

as I have customized mine.

Since you got the protocol adapter error, I suspect that your database is not started.

For instructions on how to start the database see:

https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/NTQRF/admin.htm#NTQRF214

In the above instructions, they say to do this from the operating system command prompt, not from a SQL*Plus window.

So, you will need to find where the sqlplus.exe file is on your system. For example, here it is on my system:

C:\app\baboehme\product\12.1.0\dbhome_2\BIN>dir sqlplus.exe
 Volume in drive C is TI10716100D
 Volume Serial Number is 30B9-619B

 Directory of C:\app\baboehme\product\12.1.0\dbhome_2\BIN

08/01/2014  08:08 AM           941,056 sqlplus.exe
               1 File(s)        941,056 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  929,733,115,904 bytes free

C:\app\baboehme\product\12.1.0\dbhome_2\BIN>

The prompt above is where you need to start typing what the instructions say.
However, this assumes that you have an instance and the listener is started.
If you get some other error, such as the listener not being started,
then we will need to deal with that first.

If you still get the error, then try starting the listener. Go to the same directory where you found sqlplus.exe and search for lsnrctl.exe.
At the operating system prompt, type:

lsnrctl

After that, type

start

C:\app\baboehme\product\12.1.0\dbhome_2\BIN>lsnrctl

LSNRCTL for 64-bit Windows: Version 12.1.0.2.0 - Production on 16-JUN-2016 19:48:53

Copyright (c) 1991, 2014, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Welcome to LSNRCTL, type "help" for information.

LSNRCTL>start

Then try to start the database again.

Then try to use SQL*Plus again and connect as SYSDBA.

Then try to unlock the scott account and connect as scott.

WAIT! DON'T DO THAT! YOU ALREADY HAD A DATABASE. YOU JUST NEEDED TO START THE LISTENER AND START THE DATABASE.

IF YOU START ALL OVER, YOU WILL BE CREATING A MESS.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST AN EASIER METHOD OF STARTING THE LISTENER AND DATABASE AND MAKING THEM START AUTOMATICALLY,
WHEN YOU START YOUR COMPUTER. IN FACT, IF YOU HAD JUST RE-STARTED YOUR COMPUTER, THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

From

control panel -> system and security -> administrative tools -> services

You should see a bunch of things that start with Oracle.

You need to find OracleOraDB12Home1TNSListener or something similar that starts with Oracle and ends with Listener, click on it, then click start.
You can also set it to automatic.

Then you need to do the same thing with OracleServiceORCL or whatever yours is named.

Then you should be able to use SQL*Plus and connect as SYSDBA.

I hope you have not already re-started the database creation process.

I am going to dinner now and will be back later.. There should be others coming online shortly who can continue to help you in the meanwhile.

That's definitely not good. At this point, I don't know what to tell you.
I am just a retired developer, not a DBA. There are other moderators and users
on this forum who are DBA's and some of them use Windows. Hopefully one of them
will be along to help you shortly. We have people in various time zones in
various parts of the world, so as soon as some of us go to bed, others are
just starting.

If you do start over, you should try to uninstall everything, so there won't be conflicts, then re-start your computer.

The following is the usual process for a normal installation:

Download the zip files for the database for your operating system.
Unzip the files in the same directory. As you have found, if you didn't do this,
then you can copy from one directory to the other.
Run the setup that uses the Oracle installer, responding to the prompts and noting any error messages.
In general use the defaults, installing the database, not just the client.
If it gives the option for automatic startup, select that.
When done, you may need to restart your computer.
Older versions of Windows make take a few minutes to start the listener and database.
Check through the services whether they are both started. The listener must be started first.
Start SQL*Plus. Connect as sysdba. Unlock and/or create accounts and set passwords.
Connect as scott or whatever user you have created.

All that shows is that you can start SQL Developer, just like you can start SQL*Plus.
However, you can't do anything from either unless your listener and database are started.

OK, I'll try to help. Though I really don't know that I can do better than Barbera.

First, some pre-requisites:

1. You need to learn how to use Windows. In this screenshot, http://imgur.com/BP3sdtH you have typed a directory path without a leading "\" and terminated by a ">" and followed by "lsnrctl". Windows is interpreting that as trying to execute a directory, which is impossible.
2. You need to follow the installation instructions provided by Oracle. It seems that you did not unzip both zip files into one directory. You unzipped them into separate directories, and then followed some advice here https://g7schools.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/oracle-installation-stopped-at-59-fixing-missing-files/ to copy just one directory.You may be missing lots of other files.
3. To create a database, you need to follow the instructions provided by Oracle, not whatever you found in "following the video tutorial entitle: infinite skills: learning oracle 12c by steve reis."


Second, if you want to create a listener, from a command prompt do this to create and start the service:
set ORACLE_HOME=c:\app\epldt\product\12.1.0\dbhome_3
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
lsnrctl start

Third, to create a database, in that same command prompt session, do this:
dbca
and go through the dialogue accepting defaults for everything.

If this does not work, it is because your installation is not complete, and you will have to start again.

When you copy/paste from SQL*Plus, please use [code] tags to format the result as described here,
How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

Also, please think a little bit. Your earlier posts have referred to directories ...\dbhome_2 and ...\dbhome_3.
You have deinstalled from ...\dbhome_1.
You could also try looking at the registry to see what keys still exist and you could look at the file system to see what direftories exist.

Did you shut down and re-start your computer? Some things require that in order to complete.
