ACL Error when install Oracle 10G on Windows XP

Question

I tried to install Oracle 10G Personal Edition on my Windows XP box. I see the following error in the log file:
INFO: Calling Action w32OcxRegActions10.2.0.0.0 RegisterOCX
OcxPath = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oraconfig\oraconfigps10.dll
WorkingDir = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oraconfig

deinstallcommand = null
WaitForCompletion = true
INFO:
INFO: Start output from spawned process:
INFO: ----------------------------------
INFO:
INFO: ERROR: Cannot add user to application access ACL.
No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.(534)
INFO: End output from spawned process.
In addition if I try to create a DB later via command line or via the DB Config tool I get all these windows dialogs popping up saying: "Oracle SQL*PLUS has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Any ideas what might be wrong with my installation?
