“INST-08058: A lookup of the address for this machine returned an IP address rather than a hostname. Please correct the network configuration for this machine as per the Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence.”


I have successfully ran the RCU and created the repository, then I tried to install OBIEE and I got the following Error in middle of the installation .
“INST-08058: A lookup of the address for this machine returned an IP address rather than a hostname.
Please correct the network configuration for this machine as per the Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence.”
It means we should  install a “Microsoft Loopback Adapter” first as per the Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence . I followed the link below to install that in Windows 7 .
After installingLoopback Adapter, OBIEE installation went well .
