I did 8.1.7.1 then did 8.1.7.5   "Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you are a mile a way and have their shoes." Christopher R.

In any case, I had previously installed the Oracle Universal Installer that came with 8.1.7.0.0, and so I used that to apply the patch, because, like you, I was unable to run the "setup.exe" that came with the patchset.
