This is what we did:

Copy p5907274_92070_WINNT.zip into the C:\Oracle\Patches\2007_04 unzip it intio the same directory.
 cd C:\oracle\Patches\2007_04

 cd "5907274"

 set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\ora92
Then apply the patch.

 %ORACLE_HOME%\Opatch\opatch apply

That is when we receive the error.

Thanks

Brian
