Thank you Paul. I did see that at technet. But the client machine is Windows XP Professional. I imagine that the Vista 10.2.0.3 client installation is not officially supported on XP Professional. Do you know any different? I couldn't find a 10.2.0.3 client installation for XP. I am trying to prevent some ORA-24909 (call in progress. Current operation cancelled ) errors that we see on 10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.2 client and I was told by another user that the errors disappeared with the 10.2.0.4 patch. I don't want to patch a client to 10.2.0.3, see the errors, and then go patch again to 10.2.0.4 - I figure I will just go to 10.2.0.4 directly.

I used Winzip to extract the files. I did have one issue but I'm sure it's unrelated to your issue - when I used the right-click option to open the .zip file, Winzip "froze", but when I ran Winzip from the Start Menu and then opened the file, Winzip successfully opened the file. What bugs me is that I had to download the whole thing just to update the 10.2.0.1<http://10.2.0.1> client on my client machine. Why don't they make a 10.2.0.4<http://10.2.0.4> client installer? There is a release downloadble from OTN that is labeled Oracle 10g R2 Client for MS Vista that has the 10.2.0.3<http://10.2.0.3> patchset built into it. If you don't *need* the fixes in 10.2.0.4<http://10.2.0.4>, that might be sufficient. hth. Paul -- http://www.completestreets.org/faq.html http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/ped_bike/docs/pamanual.pdf
