OPatch (Nov 2020 version) fails with error about active files

in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

I have a test VM with a plain 18.3.0 release (SE, single instance) installed on Windows 10 x64

Now, I'd like to upgrade to 18.11.0 (recommended release).

I downloaded latest and greatest OPatch (12.2.0.1.23) and installed it to my ORACLE_HOME (replaced the OPatch subfolder with the new version)

I stopped all Oracle* services (Instance, Listener, VSS) as well as DTC according to the advice from README.

Set my PATH appropriately:

x:\p31247612_180000_MSWIN-x86-64\31247612>set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\perl\bin;%PATH%
x:\p31247612_180000_MSWIN-x86-64\31247612>set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\opatch;%PATH%
x:\p31247612_180000_MSWIN-x86-64\31247612>set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin;%PATH%

Howdy, Stranger!
