Thanks Reginald & Paul for your inputs, it definitely helped me get to
the solution.

I thought of closing the thread with what worked for me
Installed Oracle 7.3.4.0 on Windows 2000 SE server
(The installation failed to start and stop Oracle Agent and installation
ended reporting the account does not has sufficient permissions - Note:
I carried out the installation using Local Admin id)
Found two Oracle services viz., OracleServiceOrcl and OracleStartORCL
running
Could not find lsnrctl and other files under C:\ORANT\BIN folder
Copied missing files (including lsnrctl.exe) from an existing Win NT - 4
SP 6a + Oracle 7.3.4.0 installation from ORANT\BIN folder to Win 2000 +
7.3.4.0 server in the ORANT\BIN folder
On command prompt ran the following:
LSNRCTL
LSNRCTL> START
This started the listener (creating the OracleTNSListener service
(although in Manual mode)
Went into services and changed run mode of OracleTNSListener from Manual
to Automatic
Reboot the server 
All three services are running fine.

Arif,
 
I have not tried this particular arragement (9.2 listener, 7.3.4 db)
but,
 
The current Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.4) listener would be the
recommended listener to use. If you do not want to install that version,
please use the 8.1.7 listener with the 8.1.7.4.1 and 8.1.7.4.12
patchsets applied. (security issues). I do remember reading of some
issues regarding a 9.2 client not connecting to a 7.3.4 database, so
you'll want to test this configuration before putting it into
production.
 
When you can migrate that database from 7.3.4 to 9.2, no changes will be
required on the listener (as the migrated 9.2 database instance will
register dynamically)
 
hth.

The service for OracleTNSListener will show up once the Listener is
started. Try starting it from the command line using lsnrctl. This has
worked for me.

Hello Fellow Oraclers

Has any of  you come across installing Oracle 7.3.4.0 on Windows 2000.
Can any of you share your experiences with me.
I am aware that 7.3.4.0 is not certified by Oracle to run on Win 2000
however my requirements dictate I carry out the stated task. I tried to
install and it did install OracleServiceOrcl and OracleStartORCL
services however didn't install OracleTNSListener.

Any help is appreciated
Arif
