Hi there!I installed Lotus Notes Client 8.5 using temporary licence on Windows XP SP3 machine.
Release 8.5 Revision 20081211.1925 (Release 8.5) Standard Configuration. C:\lotus\notes85, C:\lotus\notes85\data. On the same machine there is Lotus Notes 7 in the C:\lotus\notes, C:\lotus\notes\data (was file-copied there from my previous machine). Now when trying to uninstall Lotus Notes 8.5 by Control Panel, I get the message “Cannot upgrade AllClient installation to Notes client. The upgrade you are attempting is not supported”.
Any hints?
Thank you!

I’ve tried also reinstalling 8.5, but get the same error, so am I stuck with a clean system installation in order to “uninstall” 8.5 client?Thank you!
Subject: A different install kit is needed
There are two install kits (i.e., clients). One is referred to as “AllClient”. This has the ability to run the Notes client as well as the Domino Administrator client and the Domino Designer client. The other is the Notes (only) client that will only install Notes and not the other related clients. Upgrades are only supported for like install kits. In order for you to upgrade your “AllClient” installation, you’ll need to install the same “AllClient” kit.

the error happened even if I tried to just uninstall LN85, so I was kind of stuck with product that I was not able neighter update nor uninstall. Finally I removed Lotus Notes branch with regedit, delete files from harddrive and then install different kit.
Thank you!
