RE: 9.2.0.6 for win32

There were a lot of locked files.  I could dig out the list from the =
logfile but it was 10 or more.  Can this thing just be disabled until =
the install is completed?

Donald,

The OS service "microsoft distributed transaction coordinator" is a
likely suspect.
Other usual suspects include backup software agents and any
application servers running on that host.

The site "SysInternals.com" has a wealth of tools for finding things
like processes that own handles on files, such as handle.exe and
procexp.exe.
It is most likely that the file that was locked was "ociw32.dll"=20
under the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

the above page contains a link to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q232/8/30.ASP

Please be aware, that the patchset 9.2.0.6 for win32 is not in itself
a solution for Oracle Security Alert #68, as described in the FAQ and
patchset matrix notes on Metalink.
Other one-off patchsets may also need to be applied.

Paul
