Reproducible: Always

Hello!

I have a problem with Lotus Notes upgrade. I have created a customized package of Lotus Notes 8.5.3 using InstallShield Tuner.

When I upgrade a Notes 8.5.2 installation the TCPIP port dissapears which render the Notes installation useless.

I use a ConfigFile which I embed into the package. This is the contents:

Domino.Server=1

AdditionalServices=0

AdditionalServices.NetworkDial=0

Replication.Schedule=1

Replication.Threshold=1

Domino.Name=

Domino.Port=TCPIP

IM.ConnectWhen=0

As you see the port is there Domino.Port=TCPIP
. Also it is not removed from MSI-file (only optional network port LAN0 is removed!).
I have a theory that I have to redo the whole MST-file from the beginning again as it probably become corrupt during my many edits.

Is there anybody with similar experience?

From IBM support.
For the 8.5.3 upgrade. Create a MST-file with the EXACT same lines in same order (as the old 8.5.2 mst file). And now the upgrade works. But only using this MST, if I am using the default install (no customized mst) the the port disappears again.
