While doing so, if you are installing Oracle 11.2.0.1 32-bit, you need to pay attention to Oracle bug number #8670579
The symptom can be seen if you start sqlplus from a command line, try to connect to a server, and sqlplus exists with no message. Similiar thing happens with Brain DB nodes. The node will turn red, but there's no message recorded.
You may see messages about OCI-24550 in the Oracle trace logs.
