OUAF C2M 2.7.0.3 installation on Windows64 - Part I - Download and Installation of Prerequisite Softwares

This blog is for anyone trying to install C2M or any similar OUAF product for evaluation purposes on Windows 64 OS. 

I have noted down the steps that I had taken for doing an installation of C2M 2.7.0.3 product on Windows 64bit OS. Have tried to highlight issues that came up. Also have mentioned the exact paths where the application has been installed. You can use the same OS paths wherever possible. This will help you in following the steps. Alternatively, if you wish to install the application in your desired location, make appropriate modifications in the paths while following the steps.
Since there are many steps for complete installation, I have divided it into three blogs instead of one single blog.

Part I - Download of Softwares and Installation of Prerequisites

Part II - Download and Installation of C2M product
Part III - Deployment of C2M product in Weblogic using Native Installation

This blog covers steps for downloading necessary softwares and the steps for installing prerequisite software(Java, Weblogic, Oracle Database, Hibernate).

Below is how the folder structure looks after installation. Recommend you to follow this structure for ease in following installation steps and avoiding any confusion on the paths. 

Following are the steps of installation:

• Downloading and installing prerequisites
