Hi,
I have a big problem this morning after trying to update my Lotus Notes 8.5.3 clients to IBM Notes 9.0 clients. I’ve done that update yesterday on another PC without any problem.
After launching the installation process, everything seems fine. The first time I tried, I selected my Notes 8.5.3 installation directory for an update. the installer was doing well until there was something about ‘Publishing on IBM…’, or something like that, just after the files have been copied. and then, the cancel process has started! The installer then removes all the files prveiously copied and tell me that I’ve cancelled the installation and that no changes have been made to my system. But that’s not right! First, I never cancelled the installation, and second, it has completely erased my 8.5.3 installation! Wow! That a great installer!
I’ve tried to install the 9.0 clients 3 times after that and the result is always the same. How can it be possible for an installer to step back without any notification or reason displayed??
My OS is Windows XP (French). I’ve always installed Notes English on it without any problem. On this installation, the only thing that looks a bit weird is that the installer I’ve downloaded is in English (DOMINO_DESI_ADM_9.0_32B_WIN_EN.exe), but when launched, after the decompression, it starts in french. It must be made by a detection of the OS language, but everyone knows that a lot of bugs are introduced in the traduction of a software. I don’t know if it’s the case here, but it would be great if there was a possibility of forcing the english language for all the installation process.
Thanks for your help!
