Hi,

Checking operating system version: must be 5200 or 5100
Failed <<<<

You can modify oraparam.ini file by entering your operating system version detail. Append 5300 version where you find AIX version info.

Please refer the following SAP Notes carefully :

SAP Note 980426 - Oracle 10.2 Software installation on new operating systems

SAP Note 833766 - Oracle Database 10g: Software installation problems 10.1.0

Then Re-start the OUI. It will run.

As an alternative you can start RUNINSTALLER with -ignoreSysPrereqs Option.

You can refer this [useful thread|] to get more information about the reason.

(see R/3 Online help: BC System services --> Security audit log ,,,,,, to get more configuration info with details)
