The problem is with lsnrctl START LISTENER

I just reinstalled Oracle PE 8.1.7, and trying to see if there was anything I could pick up from the installation process.

Upon closer examinatin, Net8 Configuration Assistant actually got stuck when the Universal Install was trying to run "lsnrctl START LISTENER" command.

Once I killed lsnrctl process, the Universal Installer went on to the next step (creating database using Database Configuration Assistant), and of course that failed as usual.

I tried to run lsnrctl manually, and found a few interesting things.

If I stop the listener service (using MMC) before running the command, all I get is "waiting..." from lsnrctl. It never exited from the program (and thus why the Installer hang).

If I started the service beforehand, lsnrctl would complain of the service already running.

When I try to tsnping, I may or may not get a positive response. However, if I stop and restart listener service from MMC, tnsping definitely would work.

Thus, it appears to me that lsnrctl is the culprit.

Any idea how to get Listner to work properly?
