today I tried to install Oracle Express 10g on Windows 7 64bit (and 11g also). Unfortunately I ran into some problems. First of all, I noticed that the home page is not being loaded. Then I checked the services with "lsnrctl services" and noticed that there were some services that were not started.
C:\Users\myuser>lsnrctl services
LSNRCTL for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on 19-JUL-2011 21:02:21

I tried to reinstall Oracle several times - no success. I'm currently trying to access the database only locally.
Solutions I tried so far were :
change the HOST in tnsnames.ora to "localhost" or "."
change the HOST in listener.ora to "localhost" or "."
change the SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES in sqlnet.ora to "NONE"
I tried the last one because I changed the windows password recently, if this is relevant at all. No success so far.
I tried to install oracle on another 32bit machine with Windows 7, everything went fine.
I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise, 64bit, no service pack, SQL Server 2008 is installed.
I used Oracle SQL Developer in order to test the actual connection. The following error was thrown :
Test failed : Listener refused the connection with the following error ORA-12505; TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.

UPDATE
I still cannot resolve this issue. Additionally, I found out that there is no registry entry created by the Oracle express installation. Anyone?
