Windows 7 64-bit Installation Error "Could not find appropriate listener"

Question

*11.2.0.1* Installation fails on Win7 Professional 64-bit
1) Installed software (did not create database initially)
2) Create Listener via Net Config (no apparent problems here)
3) Added DB to Listener via Net Mgr
4) dbca fails in final portion of DB creation. Error states: *"Could not find appropriate listener for this database. Configuring DB control requires database to be registered with at least one listener.*
My Listener services is started.
All current updates have been applied to Win 7.
I have searched around and found similar issues that seem to center around adminstrator rights, but I have not been able to make any progress.

FIXED!! *Thank you very much.* I followed your instructions, renaming listener.ora, before the lsnrctl start. I then waited and ran dbca and walked through the configuration screens and this time it processed through to 100%. But I am not sure I understand what caused the issue??

The command completed successfullyThe db instance will register itself with the listener every minute or so. When you first start the listener, it will have to wait until the next cycle of the instance self-registration before it (the listener) knows about the db instance.
