Error in writing to file encountered while applying patch 9.2.0.8

Question

Hi,
I encountered the error message below while applying Oracle 9.2.0.8 patch set using OUI on server running Oracle 9.2.0.7 and Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2:
Error in writing to file 'C:\oracle\ora92\BIN\orapls9.dll'
[C:\oracle\ora92\BIN\orapls9.dll (he process cannot access
the file because it is being used by another process)]
I've already stopped the Oracle instance and services before invoking the setup.exe.
My question is: Why this is happening and what is the resolution to prevent this error from happening?

Answer 1

I used the script in the Metalink note 454040.1 and chose 5. I typed in the orapls9.dll to see which module is locking this dll and I found out it is avrrepsvc.exe which is one of the services our application is running. I just stopped it in Services Console and run the setup.exe of the patch. The installaton of patch run successfully. I checked the version using 'select banner from v$version' and I now got this results:
SQL> select banner from v$version;

I have a related question. When checking from dba_registry, isn't it that versions of components should have been upgraded too? Please see below I what got:
SQL>SELECT SUBSTR(comp_id,1,15) comp_id, status, SUBSTR(version,1,10)
version, SUBSTR(comp_name,1,30) comp_name
FROM dba_registry ORDER BY 1;
