I assumed that the Installer would create ORACLE_HOME and setting the PATH correctly.
I installed using the Basic Selection. The install was marked successful. During the configuration, I got:
I get an exception in System.Security.Policy.PolicyException in OraProvCfg,exe, which is not found on the Net.
The Oracle Net Configuration Assistent succeeded
listener.ora is:
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: U:\app\ron\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin\listener.ora

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MyServer)(PORT = 1521))
sqlnet.ora is:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
I'm going to manually delete the installation and try the advanced version.

Get TNS Adaptor Protocol error 12560 upon first install of 11G

I am installing 11G. The NET Configuration assistant succeeded but the DB Configuration Assistant failed with error 12560. Should I unininstall and try again? I get to 2% of the DB install and then the error. I've retried many times.

Attn: oracle team - ORA:12560 TNS protcol adapter error

We are getting this error ORA:12560 TNS protcol adapter error from many client PCs.
We can ping from the client to the database server. When we try to do tnsping80 to the database server, it is giving this error. We reinstalled Oracle, but of no use. Only after formatting the PC and installing Oracle, it started working properly.
Please give a solution.
Thanks

Thanks to Diana McCabe, I have found one way to fix the problem, or at least get it to run in
C:\Oracle\Oradev\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file by changing SID = orcl and making sure HOST = 127.0.0.1
However, when you connect to the database, you may have to type orcl in the Host name in order to get it to run.

ORA-12560 :TNS protocal adapter error

Hi everyone,
                 I'm using Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Server in Windows 8.1. I'm getting the TNS protocal adapter error. My service is not up(I checked in the services using services.msc).
Until Yesterday It worked well for me, I got this error after I updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
Here is my tnsnames.ora file data,

Thanks for all your reply, I thought whether It was my fault and I tried a lot of commands which I found in this Oracle Forum for more than 3hours, just now I found a link(The problem is because when I moved Windows 8 to 8.1), I found this link fortunately.

A bit generic .... In SqlPlus are you connecting from the server or from a Client ?
Did you check if the listener is running ?
Did you try tnsping ?
What is your OS ?

Hello,
You may set the ORACLE_SID first:
set ORACLE_SID=XE
sqlplus user/passwordElse, check for the Service OracleServiceXE in the Control Pannel. It should be started.
Hope this help.

I am able to ping both machine from each other.
But when I use tnsping command I am getting the TNS-12650 error
When I use tnsping 192.168.73.129 I get

Please help me out to solve this problem.

In the same folder of your client machine, check to make sure your SQLNET.ORA specifies that it's using TNSNAMES.

Does anyone have any ideas what else I can check. I'm a Unix person, not a Windows person, which is making it even more complicated. If I was on Unix, I'd just blow everything away and start again from scratch, but since I'm not sure how to remove all traces from the registry, etc., I don't want to try that on this machine. There was already one other database created, but it's not goign to be used.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
Tarisa.

hi,
thanks for the info. the problem, as it turns out, was that I was connected to the db server via a terminal service (Microsoft Management Console), which for some reason caused probelms with TNS. After I connected directly to the machine using VNC, I was able to create the database with no problems. strange but true.
regards,
Tarisa.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error, ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out

I installed Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on a Windows XP machine (the machine is in a domain). There were no errors during the instalation, but I have problems connecting from the same machine using the sid. Here are some examples from a command promt:

Thx.

Yes, the XP firewall is running. During the Oracle instalation it poped up twice, but I selected 'Unblock'. I can't turn it off because it is running using the domain settings, but I can add exceptions (programs or ports). Port 1521, tnsping or sqlplus are not blocked and there is an option 'Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program' witch is checked.
