Hello All,

There are a lot of postings featuring 12560 errors, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to the problem.

I have a new server, a clean install of Windows 200 server with SP2, I'm doing an install of 8.1.7 Standard Edition. I choose a "typical" install, and specify that a starter database called "ORCL" should be created. Install runs okay, Net8 config assistant runs okay, database config assistant falls over with ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol adapter error.

I have tried reinstalling several times, I have tried running svrmgrl and sqlplus - always fail with same error.

I'm a Sybase/SQL Server DBA - so I know a bit about installing database software - but I'm afraid this has got me beat. I would be grateful for any advice. Some supporting information is attached.

TIA Derek
