title: Oracle Webtier 12.2.1.1 on Windows startComponent.cmd "exit status = -1073741515"
body: <p>I am attempting to install Oracle HTTP server 12.2.1.1 on Windows Server 2012 R2 in standalone mode.  I believe I followed the Oracle documentation correctly.  I have progressed to this point: <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/WTINS/GUID-3ED8EE64-EE8B-4EF3-84A1-19CEF21B8547.htm#WTINS414" rel="nofollow">https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/WTINS/GUID-3ED8EE64-EE8B-4EF3-84A1-19CEF21B8547.htm#WTINS414</a></p>
  
  <p>My attempts to run "startComponent.cmd ohs1" have resulted in this error:</p>

  <p>The log file referenced here, "C:\Middleware\Oracle_Home_12\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\ohs1\logs\ohs1.log", does not exist.</p>
  
  <p>I also made sure that the required Microsoft redistributable was installed.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
