Famous Blue Screen installing 10g 10.2.0.1 on XP Pro SP2 - need help

Question

Hi,
did anybody encounter the same problem. I tried different install versions (First software and database, then software, next database, then software, then scripts for database). Finally I could indentify the problem zone: It's within the postDBCreation.sql. As soon as it calls the line:
host C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db\bin\emca.bat -config dbcontrol db -silent -DB_UNIQUE_NAME LI01 -PORT 1521 -EM_HOME
it fails and exits with a blue screen on XP. After checking out only this line, I discovered that the call itself contains a syntax error. The parameter EM_HOME is not supported.
Should this be instead ORACLE_HOME?
Moreover it claims, that SID is missing and password is incorrect.
Has anyone the correct syntax for the above line in postDBCreation.sql?
Apart from this, a blue screen is not really nice and I would prefer less severe installation problems (as, since Oracle 7 I never had a installation that worked as it should - at least something that Ora-Users can trust in ;)
Kind regards
Michael

Michael,
At this point what I can say is you try to run the postDBCreation.sql script line by line by opening a command window and see where exactly it got stuck. If you are getting the same blue screen stuff what I recommed it try to uninstall oracle and clean up registry etc.,reboot the machine try to do a clean installation.
<< Sample Script>>
connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
set echo on
spool d:\oracle\admin\YOYO\scripts\postDBCreation.log
connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
set echo on
create spfile='d:\oracle\oracle10g/dbs/spfileYOYO.ora' FROM pfile='d:\oracle\admin\YOYO\scripts\init.ora';
shutdown immediate;
connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
startup ;
alter user SYSMAN identified by "&&sysmanPassword" account unlock;
alter user DBSNMP identified by "&&dbsnmpPassword" account unlock;
select 'utl_recomp_begin: ' || to_char(sysdate, 'HH:MI:SS') from dual;
execute utl_recomp.recomp_serial();
select 'utl_recomp_end: ' || to_char(sysdate, 'HH:MI:SS') from dual;
host d:\oracle\oracle10g\bin\emca.bat -config dbcontrol db -silent -DB_UNIQUE_NAME YOYO -PORT 1521 -EM_HOME d:\oracle\oracle10g -LISTENER LISTENER -SERVICE_NAME YOYO -SYS_PWD &&sysPassword -SID YOYO -ORACLE_HOME d:\oracle\oracle10g -DBSNMP_PWD &&dbsnmpPassword -HOST k0126sfo -LISTENER_OH d:\oracle\oracle10g -LOG_FILE d:\oracle\admin\YOYO\scripts\emConfig.log -SYSMAN_PWD &&sysmanPassword;
spool d:\oracle\admin\YOYO\scripts\postDBCreation.log
exit;
