Re: OPatch question

I encountered the very same issue last week. It turned out that the patch was downloaded incomplete or transferred to the server in a wrong way. Please, try to remove everything related to this patch, all unzipped folders and the zip itself and ftp it from metalink directly to your server again. That worked for me. Make sure that bite sum is identical.

Thanks,
M
