Oracle SOA Suite 12c 12.2.1 - Installation for Windows

Here I am discussing Installation of Oracle Service Bus 11g, in windows OS machine.
First question comes to mind is, What all do we need ?
Answer is pretty simple:

A windows 64 Bit OS with
1. 300 Mhz or Faster Processor(I'm sure , you have it)
2. 2 GB of RAM
3. 5 GB of available Hard Disk Space
4. 512 MB or More SWAP and TEMP space.

5. 64 Bit JDK installed. (JDK install folder name should not have any Space in Naming. E.g "C:\Program Files\Java" can not be used )

Note : SOA Suite 12.2.1 can be installed only on 64 Bit OS and 64 Bit JDK.

Download the installers from Oracle OTN at :

If you have purchased licence from Oracle, then this can also be downloaded from Oracle eDelivery portal.

Once downloaded, you will have two files :

fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of2.zip

fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_2of2.zip

Unzip the both the files, you will get two files named as :

fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar

fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa_quickstart2.jar

Put these files in a Folder, which does not have any space in Names.
