Cannot delete oci.dll upon uninstallation of Oracle 11.1.0.6
Hello,
We install Oracle 11.1.0.6 using the process of Oracle server cloning. Upon uninstallation of Oracle, i always find that oci.dll is locked by some process in windows.
I tried figuring out which process was locking this by making use of process explorer. The oci.dll was in use under svchost.exe.
svchost.exe is a hosting process for windows services. There were a number of services hosted under svchost.exe
I started stopping each of those services one after the other. oci.dll could only be deleted when each of those services hosted under svchost.exe was stopped.
However this is not a practical solution for me. I have to do this cleanup as part of my uninstallation process.
