Is it possible to bundle both the Notes 8.5 + Fixpack 1 into a single installation package?
I know that Smart Upgrade packages can be chained to upgrade from versions prior to Notes 8.5, however for brand new desktops it would be convenient to install Notes and have the latest fixpack already included.
Subject: Seems like a simple batch file will do what you need?
Could you explain more if that would not work for you?

A batch file with two separate SURunAs executables for the main installation and the fix pack work does indeed work in my test environment.
I was just wondering about the single bundled installation in case I overlooked something.
Thanks for your help.
Subject: Bundle Notes 8.5 + Fixpack1
I agree with original poster - it would be logical to provide a “slipstream” process for Fixpacks in much the same was as Microsoft does for their Operating Systems.
To distribute the installation media to remote computers is around 500MB and already difficult for remote laptop users - adding another 150MB of files that are just replacing parts of the 500MB is wasteful.
Is there no way of replacing files in the installation media with FP1 files before the packages are distributed?
Thanks,
