Installing OSB 10.3.5 on a Windows machine where you are not the Administrator

The installer needs to create a directory
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory

and you won't be able unless you run as Administrator.

Run your installer right-clicking C:\tmp\Disk1\install\win32\setup.exe and choose "Run as administrator". That should do the job.
