Opatch Error - Subdirectory or file already exists

orclrunnerJan 30 2006 — edited Jan 31 2006
I'm trying to apply the JAN 2006 critical patch to a Oracle 9i database server. When patching I get the errror message:

A subdirectory or file -p already exists.
Error occured while processing -p.
OPatch encounters the following issues during file patching:
The following files had problems with being patched:

Then it lists all the files (14 in all) it is trying to copy from the patch directory to the Oracle bin directory.

When it asks me if I want to stop and I reply 'Y' I get the message:
ERROR: OPatch failed during patching, possibly due to missing files.

I am logged in as Administrator on the machine, so I don't think this is a permissions problem.

Also, I have run this patch on other Oracle 9i servers without any problems. It is only this server that is giving me problems.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
