Re: sqlnet and windows 2000

hello, i experienced the same problem, and have found a simple solution for it : as you were saying, there are some registry keys that oracle can't set during setup, i guess the reason for that is that windows 2000 has other security policies that nt4. What i tried and worked is adding some keys manually, I did the installation on an NT4 machine and exported the reg keys for OracleStartORCL, OracleServiceORCL, OracleTNSListener, and also for OracleAgent if you are using the enterprise version (doesn't apply to Personal Oracle). Then add those keys in Windows 2000 by double clicking on them, this works fine. Then you have to REBOOT, the first time i didn't reboot and it didn't work !!!! Then i had a flawless installation and everything works fine.
