In this walkthrough, the VM hostname is demo.symbolthree.com, and instance name is TST.
Default passwords are used:
Database: apps/apps, system/manager
Weblogic Server: weblogic/Welcome1
Open Powershell and run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Now you can run start the installation
cd D:\STAGE\startCD\Disk1\rapidwizrapidwiz.cmd

Database Node Configuration
Database Type = Fresh Database

Internationalization setting
Database character set = AL32UTF8

Primary Application Nodes Configuration
UNIX Toolkit directory = C:\cygwin64\bin
Visual Studio directory = C:\VS2008\VC

WLS Admin Password = Welcome1
Apps OS User Password = password of Windows user Administrator
Validation System Configuration
Manually restart Windows Service Server
Ignore the error Database Pre-install Checks (or you can retry the validation and you will see all checks are passed)
Continue the installation process, and it runs ~2hr to finish.
Warning
Unlike typical EBS 12.2 production systems, this instance use SINGLE FILE SYSTEM, rather then dual filesystem. All patches are applied in either hotpatch or downtime mode. Patches are applied directly to the RUN filesystem. We don't do the fs_clone at all.
