After that on my personal laptop i've worked without any hotfixes or any Sametime embedded upgrade. Usually in this case the upgrade was worked fine but with last FP5 don't.<br />IBM cannot pretend to force all customer to downgrade all client before update. Sincerely i've never understand the strategy of this kind of upgrade (eg making slipstreamed setup with FP embedded , why not? ). I really hope this time they will fix this kind of issue.<br />Anyway i think we have to wati until notes 9.0.2 to have something better like live update that works quite good on IBM Sametime downloaded from Connections Cloud. Personally I've dropped Notes for personal use in favor of IBM Verse +Sametime Connect and i'm happy like i wasn't in years.

When I do this for Notes clients and Domino servers, the install goes smoothly, and I have no problems.Lars Berntrop-Boshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080086450338712707noreply@blogger.com
