Several times I have faced problems like this. I know it’s a simple problem to solve, but I’ll leave this tip.
Recently installing Oracle 11.2.0.3 on an AIX environment I faced a problem during installation.
The error was: – Invalid distance code. What’s that????????????? Bug on 11.2.0.3? Maybe!!!
Neither at moon you can find the solution for this error.
So, I wasted no time trying debugging OUI, I realized that the error was raised during the extraction of binary installation, so I took a shortcut.
Cause:
In UNIX/Linux unzip utility extract files even if they are corrupted.
So, the installation files are corrupted and I did not heed it.

Solution:
Always test your installation zip files, before extract it.
unzip -t p10404530_112030_AIX64-5L_1of7.zip |grep -v OK Archive: p10404530_112030_AIX64-5L_1of7.zip No errors detected in compressed data of p10404530_112030_AIX64-5L_1of7.zip. unzip -t p10404530_112030_AIX64-5L_2of7.zip |grep -v OK Archive: p10404530_112030_AIX64-5L_2of7.zip No errors detected in compressed data of p10404530_112030_AIX64-5L_2of7.zip.
