Error in applying Fix Pack or CCH to Lotus Notes

Asked By 30 points N/A Posted on -

Hi guys,

If you make an attempt to apply a fix pack (FP) or cumulative client hotfix (CCH) to Lotus Notes on USB you will get the following error message:

It seems that the error message says, the installer is missing some registry keys and does not know, where to install the hotfix. But that´s not illogical, cause Nomad does not create any entry in your registry.

The thing I know is that to upgrade / install fixes on Lotus Notes on USB is to create the necessary registry keys for short time. Unluckily, the value given by the error message above is not right, you need to create the following values instead:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARELotusNotes

DataPath=<Path to Lotus Notes Data Directory>

Path=<Path to Lotus Notes Program Directory>

I will be stuck if there is any solution about executing the hotfix installer with special parameters?

So help is urgently needed. Thanks for reply.

 

Error
The Lotus Notes registry key does not specify the correct location of Lotus Notes. Please check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareLotusNotesPath8.0
