IBM Released today the Interim Fix 1 for Notes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1

 

 

Problem
Attempts to install Notes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1 (852FP1) on Windows will fail for users of the Notes Single Login (NSL) feature if the NSL service is not stopped first, because 852FP1 contains a fix for NSL. The file used for NSL (npnotes.dll) is locked and cannot be overwritten during a typical install/uninstall.
 
 
 
Resolving the problem

This issue has been reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# MBLT8CCJ3 and is addressed in Interim Fix 1 for Notes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1 (852FP1IF1), which is now available for download from Fix Central (direct links provided below).

 

Fix Information

Interim Fix 1 for Notes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1 installs without failure by omitting a fix for the NSL issue highlighted below, but otherwise contains all other Notes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1 fixes. 852FP1IF1 supersedes 852FP1. The NSL issue will be re-fixed in Notes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 2 to replace npnotes.dll during a reboot to avoid file lock conflict.


NSL fix omitted from 852FP1IF1
SPR# YGAO7UPHML - Under some circumstances Notes Single Login may delay windows logon because of a delay while interacting with Windows performance data on the local machine. With this fix, Notes Single Login will no longer look for performance data so it will not slow down Windows logon. (Technote #1405603)
