ORA-12560 while creating a database

Question

Hi,
I tried to create a Oracle Database using Oracle installer.
I got the error ORA-12560
This is part of the logfile:
INFO: Configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" succeeded
INFO: Command = oracle.assistants.server.DbcaCfgPlugIn C:\Windows\system32\cmd /c call E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1/bin/dbca.bat -progress_only -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -sid labor -gdbName labor.world -emConfiguration LOCAL -datafileJarLocation E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\assistants\dbca\templates -datafileDestination E:\app\Administrator\oradata -responseFile NO_VALUE -characterset WE8MSWIN1252 -obfuscatedPasswords false -sampleSchema true -recoveryAreaDestination NO_VALUE -totalMemory 818 -automaticMemoryManagement true -maskPasswords false -sysPassword ${S_SYSPASS} -systemPassword ${S_SYSTEMPASS} -dbsnmpPassword ${S_DBSNMPPASS} -sysmanPassword ${S_SYSMANPASS} ${S_SYSASMPASS} ${S_HOSTUSERPASS}
Command = oracle.assistants.server.DbcaCfgPlugIn has failed
INFO: Configuration assistant "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant" failed
*** Starting OUICA ***

Configuration directory is set to E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs. All xml files under the directory will be processed
INFO: The "E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.

INFO: Since there is an Internal Plugin Invocation or a Java Plugin Invocation tool in the Oracle Home E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1 we use the runConfig Command instead of the plugin's command
INFO: Created a new file E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands

INFO: The backed up file name is E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands.bak
SEVERE: OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed/cancelled. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any "Recommended" assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
1. Check the Details panel on the Configuration Assistant Screen to see the errors resulting in the failures.
2. Fix the errors causing these failures.
3. Select the failed assistants and click the 'Retry' button to retry them.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
Can anybody help me
Operating system Windows Server 2008
A TNSNAMES.ORA was not created even if Oracle Net Config was successful (see above)

Hi,
Make sure that you point to the right path in ORACLE_HOME directory system variable.
If you already have one ORACLE COMPONENET RUNNING (SAY 10g SOA etc). Then we need to remove the path in the variable ORACLE_HOME and point to new oracle home path.
I had the similar issue it worked me. I hope it will work for you too as well.
