Re: The problem is with lsnrctl START LISTENER

MMC = Microsoft Management Console

I am installing 8.1.7 PE from a CD certified for win2k/NT4. I have cleaned out registry, including removing oracle services from services subkey, as well as oracle entry from hkey_local_machine/software.

I have rebooted before reinstalling. Anything else I could try?

Thanks
