opatch error 'Unable to parse the xml file'
Hi there,
I am new to installing patches on Oarcle and I need to install patch 12375678 on my windows system, Oracle 11.2.0.2.
I have followed the instructions in the readme.txt file, but got this error and I have not come across anywhere on the web that explain how I could fix it.
Could you please advise?
Thanks
