Resolution:

Look into the usage of port . i.e Other application may using the same port. To know port usage at windows command prompt execute

netstat -ano | findstr 1521 > This command gives if the port is free or its been using by any other application.  If output is ESTABLISHED it means this port is used by some application and command gives process id using this port.

C:\Users\Administrator>netstat -ano | findstr 1521

  TCP    192.168.8.115:1521     192.168.8.115:56157    ESTABLISHED     9682

  TCP    192.168.8.115:1521     192.168.8.115:56158    ESTABLISHED     9682

tasklist /SVC /FI "PID eq 9682" > This command will give you application name holding this process id. Alternatively you can see in windows task manager.

C:\Users\Administrator>tasklist /SVC /FI "PID eq 9682"

Image Name                     PID Services

========================= ======== ====================

java.exe                      9892 N/A

Now we have two options left. Either change port for listener or change other applications port which is using this port 1521.

In my scenario I have gone for changing port for oracle listener in file listener.ora at path C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora.  Changed default port 1521 to free port 1527.

Start oracle listener from services.msc or command prompt. This solved my issue and installation moved further.
