Error description
Packaging of LN 8.5 Client and user dictionaries Issue with Lotus-Notes Multi-User installations and the new XTAF dictionary features. Customer is trying to install LN 8.5.1 Included the new XTAF dictionary features in one step. He used Notes 8.5 addToKit.exe and trimUpdateSite.exe tools to add and remove some feature. when it's done and roll out the package, he found out that the new XTAF directories are installed on a user basis and can be found in the users data directory ...\workspace\application\... and not on the program shared directory. Customer is using a multi-user English client, with additional dictionaries in the new XTAF format. They use the eclipse update site mechanism ( Notes 8.5 addToKit.exe and trimUpdateSite.exe tools ) and adjust the install.xml file to include additional dictionaries. Similar issue has been discussed in the forum post: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/dba3ca7e515d55ff85256a 0700727b35/40d45bf404f920a685257745002911a2?OpenDocument Here are the steps to reproduce the isssue: 1) Extract lotus_notes851_win_CZ5S3EN.exe (stop the installer) 2) Using the trimUpdatesite (provided in the utility directory of the installkit) Remove symphony Remove CAE 3) using addToKit (utility directory) add the extracte updatesites from Notes_XTAFDictionaries_851_WinLnx_Ml.zip to the installkit (e.g.updateSite_nl.zip) 4) remove "copy of updateSite.zip" and "copy of install.xml" (deploy directory) 5) execute the setup.exe from the installkit 6) Choose to install: multiuser default installation directories do not install help files install sametime enbedded do not install symphony After setup is completed you will notice that the additional spellcheck dictionaries are install in C:\users\<user who installed>\appdata\local\lotus\notes\.... and not (as should be) in the shared directories (where eg com.ibm.langware.en_US is installed) Variations of the above situation where tried to solve the issue but the results were identical to the above: 1) Manual adding the files from updateSite.nl.zip to the updateSite (extracting, adding files in correct directories, add to site.xml and zip) and modifying the deploy/install.xml. This was executed by copy/paste and adapt the default en_us/fr_CA langware features mentioned in the site.xml and deploy.install.xml 2) Placing the updateSite_nl.zip next to the default updateSite.zip and referencing to it from the deploy/install.xml file Expected result/Goal Addition of XTAF-dictionaries to the installkit should result in a shared install resulting in an default English client but with multiple spelling languages (eg. Dutch, German, Czech, ...) Customer confirm that they package their solftware and have a multi-user environment, they therefore must have the XTAF-files inside the package. How can they force the installation to install all additionally dictionaries on the same way as the default English dictionaries ? (user feature context , global feature context )
