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.

I keep getting the following error while trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on my NT server.
There is over 1G of freespace on the drive. If I say ignore, the installer continues to run.
Any ideas?

Error in writing to file c:\winnt\system32\ctl3d32.dll
