Problems installing AIA 2.5 Foundation Pack pre-reqs

Question

I am involved in a very large AIA project. I am creating my own environment prior to go to the customer and I have found some issues while installing the pre-reqs for the Foundation Pack on top of Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 (MLR #8) using OC4J.
I am following the attached doc, in specific these lines:
Oracle SOA Suite 10 g Release 3 (10.1.3.4 + MLR#8 or later). Use Advanced Installation option and select J2EE, the web server, and Oracle SOA Suite.
This version of AIA is tested and certified on 10.1.3.4 MLR#8 (Patch 8372150). You need to apply these additional patches over MLR#8:
* 5507491
* 7692665
* 8533397
Note: Before you apply patch 8533397, perfrom the following tasks.
1. Download OUI 10.1.0.6.0 (patch 6640838) and install it on the Oracle home with all components listed on screen.
2. Download latest 10.1 Opatch (Patch 6880880) and install it on the Oracle home.
* 8644645
I was able to install MLR#8, and then 5507491,7692665. I also did the pre-reqs for 8533397. But when trying to install 8533397, I got the following:
+==================================================+
D:\>opatch version
Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 1.0.0.0.63

Oracle recommends you to use the latest OPatch version
and read the OPatch documentation available in the OPatch/docs
directory for usage. For information about the latest OPatch and

available on My Oracle Support (https://myoraclesupport.oracle.com)
OPatch Version: 1.0.0.0.63
OPatch returns with error code = 0
+==========================+
So, the Opatch is with the latest version. Then I ran:

f no OUI support. Please take latest OUI 10.1 patchset from "My Oracle Support"
and try again.
Cannot check bug/file conflict and component prerequisite checks.
ERROR: OPatch failed during prerequisite check.
OPatch returns with error code = 150
+=====================+
I've been trying to install the patch, but it seems OPatch is having some issues with the overlay patches and that is why is throwing that error. I also tried to do it with previous Opatch releases (52 and 62), but I got similar errors.
Do u have any suggestions?? Is there anything I can do to install those two patches (8533397 & 8644645).
In my research I noticed that the OPatch is either not being updated correctly, or simply not able to use the overlay patches, and that is why is saying that I need a most updated one. But for an Oracle DB 10.1 system, the latest OPatch version I found was 1.0.0.0.63.
Any suggestions are welcomed,
thx again
best

Use higher versions of OUI Installer and OPatch - 10.2 or above
