Getting an AllClient error indicating that a 6.5.6 Notes client will not suport a Notes 8.5 “client only” kit install. Looks like the legacy “ini” install imaged the following parms on the notes.ini’s for all clients.
My 6.5.6 Notes.ini file. My KitType indicates Workstation
the InstallType indicates AllClient install.
[Notes]
KitType=1
Directory=C:\bin\lotus\notes\data
InstallType=2
FaultRecovery_Build=Release 6.5.6
If I change a 6.5.6 client’s notes.ini to a InstallType=6, keeping the KitType=1, I get the same AllClient error.
Are we missing something when trying to do a 6.5.6 to 8.5 client upgrade. Using Single User setup on the 8.5 install (not Multiuser.)
I do notice that with a clean 8.5 client install there is a new entry :
InstallMode=1
This does not show up on an upgrade.
