Trying to install Oracle 11g XE - can anyone give me a simple answer to why this is happening on windows xp pro (32 bit) machine when I try to Get Started from the desktop.
Checked services OracleService XE and OracleXETNSListener have both been started however in sqlplus if i connect as sys using my password i get
'immediate shutdow in progress'
and cannot abort with
'shutdown abort'
because of
ORA-24324 service handle not initialized
ORA-01041 internal error hostdef extension doesnt exist.
