Hi all,

I am trying to apply patch 13 for the oracle client 9.2.0.7.
I need to install perl and apply the opatch for it. I installed active perl and when I entered this in the cmd I am getting the following error:

C:\>cd oracle\oracle92

C:\oracle\oracle92>set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\oracle92

C:\oracle\oracle92>perl c:\oracle\oracle92\opatch\opatch.pl apply

Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 1.0.0.0.56

We recommend you refer to the OPatch documentation under
OPatch/docs for usage reference. We also recommend using
the latest OPatch version. For the latest OPatch version
and other support related issues, please refer to document
293369.1 which is viewable from metalink.oracle.com

Oracle Home : c:\oracle\oracle92
Oracle Home Inventory : C:\oracle\oracle92\inventory
Central Inventory : C:\Program Files\oracle\inventory
from : N/A
OUI location : C:\oracle\oracle92\oui
OUI shared library : C:\oracle\oracle92\oui\lib\win32\oraInstaller.dll
Java location : "C:\oracle\oracle92\jre\1.4.2\bin\java.exe"
Log file location : c:\oracle\oracle92/.patch_storage/<patch ID>/*.log

The patch directory area must be a number.

ERROR: OPatch failed because of problems in patch area.

I referred 293369.1 in the metalink, but I dont quite understand how to fix the problem.Can somebody help me fix this?
Thank you,
Newbie.
