ORA-12203 using 8.0.3 on Windows NT Workstation

All,

I have been trying - unsuccessfully - to get Oracle Server 8.0.3 running on my NT workstation (v4.0, service pack 5).

I did NOT choose to create any databases on startup, since I had <planned> to create these myself.

When I try

   svrmgr30

I get the following error:

   Oracle Server Manager Release 3.0.3.0.0 - Production

   (c) Copyright 1997, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

   ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination    SVRMGR> Now (at the foot of the post I attach the sqlnet.log portion - if that helps)...
(a) I have (and tried running or not running) the TNSListener80 service
running - it makes no difference to the error code above whether it is running or not.
(b) I assume [correctly?] that the listener does NOT need to run for
svrmgr30 connection (it doesn't seem to require running on Solaris)

I ***have*** checked document ID's 1003502.6 and 1015259.4 from oracle support (i.e. ORA-12203 and TNS-12203), but could not resolve anything.

Any help - or if anybody else had this experience - please let me know!

Thanks and Regards,

Steve
