Hi,
I'm trying without success to patch Oracle Client v9.2.0.1.0 to v9.2.0.4.0 on Windows XP. I've done this successfully on a Windows server (Windows 2000, Windows 2003), but for some reason the patch setup program refuses to run, insisting that 33 Windows services (many of which are critical) must be stopped before it will continue. Since its impossible to stop all these services the patch cannot be installed... No Oracle services are running whatsoever...
Any suggestions anyone?
TIA,
David

Just about everything really, computer browser, workstation, server, terminal services, alerter, cryptographic services, Remote procedure call etc, etc...
The good news is I've managed to find a way around this. Using Microsoft/Sysinternals Process explorer, I killed off one of the svchost.exe processes (it had a large number of services linked to it). Windows managed to survive this and the patch install program ran (although I don't think the svchost.exe I killed accounted for all the 33 services the patch setup.exe was complaining about).
The install failed to overwrite one DLL (ociw32.dll) but thankfully allowed me to continue. Despite this v9.2.0.4.0 seems to have gone on ok and the bug I was experiencing (using DBMS_LOCK) with v9.2.0.1.0, seems fixed now, so I'm happy.
I think the Patch setup program could do with a major rewrite though...!
Cheers,
David
