A Sametime 7.5.1 question I got in email last night


Tags :


I imagined someone would ask eventually or at least figure it out.

Hey Chris, saw all your postings today on 7.5.1.  I downloaded the new client but don't see anything but the full exe file.  Do I need to expand that to get the Eclipse update or will that be coming soon?  Great postings, thanks!


Well that is a great question.  One I have asked.  You would expect with all the hype around Eclipse and provisioning clients you could simply toss some code for a site update.  While this would be many files and larger than a normal small push, it would all be done in the background and then they get restarted and viola.  However, Lotus said they were not ready for it at this release, or something in those words.  You get the drift.

So what that means is you must have each client download and install the full new code, just like a fresh install would be.  It will upgrade seamlessly, it is just a packaging step you need to do.
