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 fix the Listner issue?

Fixed. The problem was with Microsoft Terminal Service [message #58286 is a reply to message #58272] |

Thanks to Sybrand Bakker at comp.databases.oracle.server, I managed to install 8.1.7 PE successfully.
The problem was that BEQ (if I am not mistaken, that's the Oracle network protocol) doesn't work with Microsoft Terminal Service. As a result, whenever Installer or I myself trying to invoke the Listener, it wasn't able to bind to the TCP port.
Once I reinstalled directly at the box, rather than via Terminal Service, everything went smoothly.
Thanks for your kind suggestions over the last few days.
