Hello, I'm trying to install Oracle Client 10.2 on OpenVMS (Version V8.3-1H1). I'm only installing the Client since the Oracle database resides on a different box. When I run the installer (@runinstaller) it displays the following output:

Checking OpenVMS quota settings...
OpenVMS quota setting checked successfully.

Please specify the location to be used for ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_HOME location: dka1:[trs.oracle_client]

Please specify the location for temporary files created during installation.
(this must be a directory on an ODS-5 formatted disk)

Enter scratchPath: DKA1:[ORACLE]
Copying runInstaller components to temporary location...  
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

After about 15 minutes it brings up the Oracle Universal Installer window in X Windows momentarily 
before giving this error: 

DKA1:[ORACLE.OraInstall2012-03-12_03-47-27PM]oraInstall2012-03-12_03-47-27PM.out (file currently locked by another user)

I've tried it twice with the same error.
There were no other users on the system.

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alfred
