I already installed VMware vCenter many times without any problems using an oracle
enterprise database server (11.1.0.7) as the backend.
This time the installation continues failed with the error: "Error 25003. Setup failed to create the vCenter server repository"
The Logfile shows additional error-messages:

I also tried to create the database schema manually; after modifying the script VCDB_oracle.sql, all table objects were generated.
But it was not possible to create the objects listed in the needed files (installation guide) and I was unable to find the error(s).
The next step was to download the vCenter appliance, but the database setup also failed; not all needed tables were generated.
Did anybody face the same problem - is there a solution?
