Oracle 10g installer disappears

Question

I have been trying to install oracle 10g following this tutorial http://faq.programmerworld.net/database/installing-oracle-10g.html however, the installer just disappears after choosing the installation path and hitting next.

Welcome page

Deinstall Products

Select Installation Type -> Enterprise Edition

Specify home details

$Specify home details: Name -> OraDb10g_home1 Path -> c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1$

Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks

Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks (all good)

After the last step, the window just disappears, and nothing happens I looked on the internet and tried various things, the last thing I've been trying to do is this solution http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?1641469-Oracle-Installer-Disappears but I couldn't figure out how to do what is said.

I had a similar issue some day. Turned out that we received an incomplete installer disk and the install process was just sitting in the background. The collegue who handed out the disk just copied ~700 MB of the folder but it should've been ~1.3 GB (he made a CD instead of a DVD). — yacc
Hmm, good point, I must verify that, cause I copied it from another pc too, thanks for the enlightenment!! — Lynn94
We used FileMon (from Sysinternals) to monitor the process, and it was just sitting there, idling, after having copied a bunch of files. So we concluded it was out of input. The installer wasn't obviously programmed to check its manifest for completeness. — yacc
Why do you like to install a 15 years old software which is out of support for many years. — Wernfried Domscheit

Read this troubleshooting installation guide: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14317/ts.htm#NTDBX404

The first thing I would do is go see if you can find the installation logs, see if you can at least find an error code.
