I was trying to patch my Oracle client on my NT 3 (sp5) box, and I ran into some troubles. The DLLs that the installer tried to replace were in use.

There's nothing in the 2 startup folders. I disabled every service that had Oracle attached to it, but still the files were locked. So I checked to see which process was holding the dlls, and it was winlogon.exe, so I can't even kill the process.

So I checked the technet site, and came up with nothing, perhaps I'm the first person to run into this.... I hope not.

Then I thought I would uninstall Oracle, but since the files were in use, I couldn't get everything off of my machine.

Has anyone run into this? Is there a solution? I don't want to wipe my machine clean for such a silly problem.....

Thanks.
