Weblogic 10.3.6: java.io.IOException: Unable to backup file "weblogic-domain-binding.jar" during patching

Version:

 Weblogic Server 10.3.6 in Windows 2008

 Issue:

 The bsu command to apply patch errors out

 Patch applied was 18040640 (Patch Set Update 10.3.6.0.8).

 Error:

 Installing Patch ID: T5F1..Result: Failure
java.io.IOException: Unable to backup file C:\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\schema\
weblogic-domain-binding.jar to C:\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\schema\weblogic-dom
ain-binding.jar19755.bak

 Reason: 

 Few of the WLS files were already active during patching.

 Patch was tried  straight after WLS installation. Nodemanager  was enabled as a service during installation and it was running.  Due to this the patching failed.

 Action:

 Stopped the nodemanager service from services.msc. Verified that no DLLs and files from the WLS Home is active using processExplorer tool. Reapplied the patch.

    On windows 2008 R2 there was no "node Manager" service just a javaw.exe process. I needed to stop all Oracle and OEM services on server and killed the javaw.exe to get the Smart Update to remove the patches.
