I get a lot of those when installing on NT. I usually go into explorer, rename the existing file to .old and hit Retry and the install continues on.
Sometimes that won't work if the file is truly locked by another process. In that case you have to find who has locked the file. I use the HandleEx tool available from www.sysinternals.com to find out which process has the file locked and stop it before continuing the installation. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 9:10 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I keep getting the following error while trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on my NT server.
