Hello Ron I usually get this error when some other service is still using the DLL. I then start to stop all the services that I think use Oracle and hit retry. If still in error I just starting to stop all services on the machine, and hitting retry after stopping two or three services. At the end the retry succeed. Of course the first thing that I do after the install complete is boot.
