We are upgrading our Notes 7.0.2 client machines to 8.5 via SmartUpgrade (using network-stored kit on a 7.0.2 server)
These client machines do NOT need Designer/Administrator, but the differences between BASIC and STANDARD are confusing me.
I have performed a successful upgrade from 7.0.2 (client only) to 8.5 BASIC, but it looks nothing like an 8.5 manual upgrade (using CD) The bookmark icons are square (a-la 7.0.2) and do not highlight, also, sametime does not load in the sidebar like the CD upgrade does.
Is there any way to have the new 8.5 SameTime (Connect?) included in the SmartUpgrade? The only way I can get SameTime to install is to perform SmartUpgrade and then manually install it from the 8.5 “Standard” package.
Do I have to “repackage” the “Standard” 8.5 MSI? Whenever I use the files from the “Standard” version in SmartUpgrade, my 7.0.2 clients report there are no packages available via FILE | TOOLS | SMART UPGRADE.
How do I upgrade Notes 7.0.2 (Client Only) to 8.5 (Client Only) and have the new SameTime included???
Please help!
Subject: Solved
I solved the problem by changing this file /deploy/install.xml from the extracted Lotus Client 8.5 file.Thanks!
from
<installfeature default=“true”
description=“%Sametime.description” id=“SametimeUI” name=“%Sametime.name”
required=“false” show=“true” version=“8.0.0.20080912.1130”>
to
<installfeature default=“true”
description=“%Sametime.description” id=“SametimeUI” name=“%Sametime.name”
required=“true” show=“true” version=“8.0.0.20080912.1130”>

Subject: Automatic Sametime installation when doing a SmartUpgrade
For me, Sametime Integration was added via the setup.ini ‘CmdLine’ as follows to add these features automatically during install without user intervention.
CmdLine= TRANSFORMS=LotusNotes85.mst SELECTINSTALLFEATURES=Activities,SametimeUI,CAE PROGDIR=C:\Notes DATADIR=C:\Notes\data /qb+
Subject: Auto SameTime Install
I packaged the upgrade into one large executable on the server as I found out some users could not use a directory I was using. I put this command into the Command Line Parameters:-d -s -a /s /w /v"ALLUSERS=1 SELECTINSTALLFEATURES=SametimeUI /qb+"
-d = use temp directory and delete install files after install is completed
-s = slient install
-a = pass all arguments to file being launched
/s = don’t prompt for location to install app
/w = tell surunas.exe to wait for install to finish
/v = Pall arguments to MSIexec
SametimeUI = Install Sametime Ingergration
/qb+ = displays basic user interface and a box when done.
This upgrade pass we are going from 8.5.1 to 8.5.2FP1 I created two seperate upgrade packages one for 8.5.1 to 8.5.2 then one for 8.5.2 to 8.5.2FP1. I watched what the server did was to download both update patches, it would run the first for 8.5.2 then after that completed it would then run the 8.5.2FP1
When you want to push FP updates to clients in the Release line type in as follows Release 8.5.2FP1 no space between the version number and fix pack number.
Subject: solved !
Après plusieurs jours à me tirer les cheveux et chercher, un collaborateur et ami de la Sté asi-informatique a obtenu la réponse :
Il a été détecté que Sametime ne s?installait pas dans le contexte d?une
installation en mode silencieux.
Pour corriger ce problème, modifier le fichier install.xml fourni, qui est
situé dans le répertoire « deploy » du package d?installation.
Rechercher comme ci-dessous la ligne « <installfeature default=“true”
description=“%Sametime.description” id=“SametimeUI” name=“%Sametime.name”
required=“false” show=“true” version=“8.0.0.20080912.1130”> » et remplacer
la valeur « false » par « true ».
Attention : s?agissant d?un fichier XML, il est conseillé de vérifier
qu?il reste « bien formé ». Pour ce faire, l?ouvrir dans votre navigateur
et contrôler que les balises sont toutes « complètes ».
Subject: You need to upgrade to the “Standard” configuration
this is built on the Eclipse rich client platform and has Sametime embedded as a sidebar plug-in. The Basic configuration is for those systems that lack the resources to run the full, “Standard” client, and lacks the sidebar and java views.
Subject: same pb
Simon, i confirm that same pb happened to me and i confirm that target migrated client is really a “standard” notes client.did you find something to silently install integrated sametime client with notes 8.5 client ?
