Geting the following error message when clicking a meeting invite sent to my Notes 8.5 client running ODS51 from a third party application (Mitel.) The error message displays when I try to open the ics file.
“Invalid directory name or device not ready.”
Here is the url:
https://awc.copyname.com/awcuser/cgi-bin/getcalfile.cgi?p=0157948.ics
Mitel uses outlook to generate the message.
Also, cannot add the meeting to my 8.5 calendar when trying to drag and drop either the ics file or the above URL.
IE is the default browser. I am able to import the ics file but not what we want our user base to do.
Are there other configuration settings that need to be set on the client and/or server ? Not sure what directory or device the error message is referring to .
Subject: RPTLAUNCHER path needed change via file assoc.
The paths were wrong most likely because the MS Office (with outlook ) was installed “after” the Notes install on the rollout image. Even after associating the ICS file thru Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | File Types the OS does not take the path off the “Advanced” settings for the association.
Also, in our install, we have Lotus/Notes and Lotus/Notes/Data installed under the C: Bin directory (not program files as default.) So need to edit the “Open” action under the advanced file association settings under Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | File Types and just change the path part of the statement to reflect your install where the RPTLAUNCHER can be found.
This is the DEFAULT SETTING on a new install:
“C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework\rcp\rcplauncher.exe” -config notes -com.ibm.common.services.icalendar#com.ibm.common.services.icalendar.command “%1”
THIS IS OUR INSTALLED DIRECTORY:
“C:\bin\Lotus\Notes\framework\rcp\rcplauncher.exe” -config notes -com.ibm.common.services.icalendar#com.ibm.common.services.icalendar.command “%1”
Hope this helps someone else. The Registry settings needed a major adjustment as well .
