I have successfully installed oracle server 9.2.0.1 on a laptop in silent mode, and now I'm trying to install patch set 9.2.0.7 in the same manner.

I run the installation from the command line like this:
setup.exe -silent -responseFile c:\temp\patchset.rsp ORACLE_HOME="c:\oracle" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="HOME1"


This opens a new CMD window for "Oracle Universal Installer",
but I get an error:
"You have specified a non-empty directory to install this product. It is recommended to specify either an empty or a non-existent directory".

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Did you check the installation guide? It seems that

But doesn't that sound peculiar?

Isn't the whole idea of a patch set the fact that it is installed over an existing oracle installation and ORACLE_HOME directory?

I agree; it sounds reasonable.

Did you try to install it NOT using silent mode?

Yes, I did, and it worked fine.

As a conclusion: you, finally, patched Oracle to 9.2.0.7. Right?

Yes, I did.
But the installation of the patch must be in silent mode,
because it is part of an automated installation with minimum intervention by the user.
