View the Exhibit. What would happen if Oracle Home is not empty?

OUI validates that the chosen Oracle Home path is empty as part of its prerequisite checks; if existing files are detected, the installer halts and displays a warning requiring the user to select an empty directory or clear the current one before installation can continue.

OUI does not silently skip existing files and merge into a non-empty directory; it enforces the empty-home requirement and stops rather than proceeding without overwriting.

OUI will not overwrite existing files in a non-empty Oracle Home; overwriting could corrupt a functioning Oracle installation, so the installer explicitly prevents this scenario.

The installer does not terminate automatically with a fatal error and exit; instead it pauses with a correctable warning, giving the user the opportunity to resolve the conflict and then continue.
