Integration

Before running the setup for the patch, i stopped all Oracle services on my server and only started the Database service for the metadata repository, the TNSListener, and the infrastructure process manager. When the Universal Installer is running, I can get to the form where the Metadata Repository SYS password is entered. if I click Next to continue, a message box appears:

Certain files which need to be reinstalled by Oracle Universal Installer are being used by one or more applications.

Please close any running applications before continuing.

I have set all of the Oracle services to "manual" in the Admin console. Shutdown the server and turned it back on so that no Oracle is engaged. Then I started just the three services listed above. The message is still coming up.

The README that comes with the patch says I can do the upgrade of the infrastructure and middle-tier in any order. That if I update the Infrastructure the service for the database CONSOLE needs to stopped. Which it is.

I am running my iAS on the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition OS. What is happening?

Thank you for your help.
