I am trying to launch LSNRCTL on my Windows 10 64-bit laptop; Oracle 18 XE I get this error message:

C:\app\Owner\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE\bin>lsnrctl

LSNRCTL for 64-bit Windows: Version 18.0.0.0.0 - Production on 10-APR-2021 13:04:13

Message 850 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=NL LSNRCTL>

My ORACLE_HOME variable is set to: C:\app\Owner\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE\bin

Andrew Sayer suggested:

Either unset your oracle_home or set it to c:\ app\Owner\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE (assuming that’s the real directory)

I followed the suggestions, here is the output:

sqlnet.ora file:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

AFAIK all of the above directories exist.

EdStevens said:

You have "TNS-12541: TNS:no listener ". Your listener is not started.

When I try to start the listener I get this message:

C:\>lsnrctl start

"message not found" invariably means that ORACLE_HOME is not set correctly. The message file (the file with the text of all of the error messages) is located in relation to ORACLE_HOME. If ORACLE_HOME is not correct, then it can't find the message file, and all errors will cascade to "message not found".

The question author responded:

I think I solved the problem; the Oracle service TNS Listener was not started. I changed the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to: C:\app\Owner\product\18.0.0\dbhomeXE - I dropped the "\bin" directory.
