Domino 8.5 upgrade and Sametime

I had an installation of Domino 8.01 that also included Sametime Server 8.01. I wanted to upgrade Domino to 8.5. I uninstalled Domino 8.01 thru Windows’ Add/Remove program. I left the directory structure and files the way they were after the uninstall. I then installed Domino 8.5. Now whenever I start Domino it seems to come up fine, but ST does not. I look in the \domino directory and my sametime.ini file is 0 bytes. I made a backup copy of my old sametime.ini before I started the upgrade. If I copy it to the \domino directory and then start the domino server it will once again erase the contents of sametime.ini to where it is 0 bytes. Any ideas as to what is going on?

You’re going to have to go back to Domino 8.0.1. Sametime won’t be supported on Domino 8.5 until Samtime 8.5 comes out later this year. Typically the Sametime and Domino versions match.

Subject: Sametime 8.0.1 ships with Domino 8.5…

I suspect that when you uninstalled the Domino server, you uninstalled Sametime and you need to install it again
