Can't use remote desktop for Oracle EBS 11i installation

Yesterday I was installing a new instance on training server. I was installing a vision demo for user training. I used remote desktop provided by MS Windows to connect to the server. I ran the installation and then it failed when starting database listener.
Then I tried to use VNC. There is a free version available on www.realvnc.com. I installed VNC server on the server and VNC viewer on my PC. I also removed files created from failed intallation, I also removed the oracle entries from windows registry.
I used VNC to connect to server. The installation ran well and successfully.
