How can I get Enterprise Manager for Oracle 11g R1 to install?

I am running a windows xp sp3 machine with 22gb free space, 1.5ghz Intel Pentium M and 768MB of RAM. Every time i try to install oracle 11g, the installation goes okay except for running the emca script.

Enterprise manager failed due to the following error- error starting database control

caused by OracleDBConsoleorcl not being able to start

Could not start the OracleDBConsoleorcl on local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion.

the event logs show

The OracleDBConsoleorcl service terminiated with service-specific error 2(0x2)

I have tried everything from editing the host file, setting a static ip to configuring the loopback adapter. None of this seems to be working. Is there something i am doing wrong?

I have found a solution:

  1. do a normal install and ignore this message, if you see it:

Enterprise manager failed due to the following error- error starting database control

  1. setup up static IP, preferably on a loopback adapter if you are using a laptop, and make sure it is listed in host file as first IP O recommend using HostExpert from funkytoad for this.

  2. run the following at a command prompt (cmd as opposed to the run/open)

    set oracle_sid=orcl
emca -repos recreate
emca start dbconsole

and you should be good to go. In my case, Enterprise Manager is on port 1158 as opposed to 5500 so your mileage may vary.
