Missing em.ear file while installing 11gR2 in Windows XP

I downloaded the files from OTN with following names:

win64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
win64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip

Extracted both into the SAME directory with these names

C:\Oracle\Disk1
C:\Oracle\Disk2

Started the installation from C:\Oracle\Disk1\database\setup.exe

And the Installation failed due to file not found of {C:\app\11g\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2ee\oc4j_applications\WFMLRSVCApp.ear and some other files too}

I went through the http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10843/toc.htm but there was nothing which mentioned where or how to rename the directories.

All my downloaded files were in the same directory but still I was facing the problem.

As both zip files contained database folder so I couldn't override the files.

I solved the file not found issue by coping all the folders under C:\Oracle\Disk2\database\stage\Components to C:\Oracle\Disk1\database\stage\Components

After restarting the installation it went like a charm and without any issues.


Thanks,
