Oracle Database Discussions

Hi, I have updated my Oracle 10g (running on Windows XP) from version 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 and now I am trying to execute the patch: 6430171that solves several bugs.

The problem is that when I run the Opatch application I get the following error:

OPatch failed with error code = 74

Currently there is no database installed on my system and the Oracle Listener is not running, so I don't know what process is using the oci.dll.

I tryed to delete it but I couldn't which confirms that the dll is really in use by something.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Komyg

PS: I have also updated Opatch with the patch: 4898608
