I have just finished installing Oracle 8i (8.1.7) from CDs. I installed both the enterprise ed. and client disks.

It failed on the step where it tried to create a database.

I'm getting the following error in my Windows NT Event Log:

The OracleOracleTNSListener service failed to start due to the following error: Access is denied

It appears that there is a Listener, and Names Server configured on my machine (I see them in Configuration Wizards.)

I'm sure it is a configuration issue, and don't know how to resolve it.
