These are the detailed release notes for MC Upgrade.

For a high-level overview of all changes, please take a look the main document for this release: MarvelClient 12.0

Releases in reverse chronological order:

Release 2023-11-10 - 12.0.48

MCUpgrade
FIX / CHANGE	Fixed an issue where EXTMGR_ADDINS entries with leading and trailing tabs or spaces were not parsed out properly
FIX / CHANGE	Fixed an issue where MCUpgrade.ini entries were translated, even if they were empty. This lead to, for example, InstallFinishedText to be set and effective in another language, even though it was empty=disabled in MCUpgrade.ini

Release 2023-10-12 - 12.0.47

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where the old Notes program directory was not cleaned up, because it was checking for notes.exe after uninstall (which is pointless)
FIX	Fixed an issue where Symlink cleanup was not always done to the fullest extent, leading to Notes installers sometimes working off of older folders like IBM or Lotus, even if empty or symlinked to non-existent folders
ENHANCEMENT	Component updating in case of "expired"/lapsed file signatures can now be disabled by setting ini:WinVerifyTrustDefaultFlags=0

Release 2023-10-06 - 12.0.46

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where ConfigFile was roamed during notes.ini restore
CHANGE	DeferralPromptCount and DeferralPromptLast are now only updated when deferring an upgrade
NEW	MarvelClient Upgrade now attempts to automatically fix access permissions for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notes; In case the registry entry exists but the upgrading user has no read or write access to it, the upgrading user, Administrators and SYSTEM will be granted full access to the corresponding key

Release 2023-09-01 - 12.0.45

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where Program Files* and ProgramData were cleaned up if *DirectoryNew was empty/not set
FIX	Fixed an issue where client folder detection did not always check for HKLM(32)\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes values, but only HKLM64\*
FIX	Fixed an issue where client folder detection did not detect the shared data directory if there was no data directory yet
FIX	Fixed an issue where client folder detection did not set the data directory if it did not exist, which lead to at least /coptim failing
ENHANCEMENT	The Service executable and DLL components are now also updated if their certificate is no longer within the "valid from-to" window NOTE: The current "valid from-to" window ends on March 15, 2024. Without a then newer MCUpgrade executable, the service exeutable and DLL components will be updated during every run.

Release 2023-08-08 - 12.0.44

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where not all Lotus\|IBM\|HCL\Lotus\|Notes registry keys were cleaned up
FIX	Fixed an issue where the PersonalFolder location was not changed due to subsequent registry cleanup
FIX	The .progress file is no longer created when running MCUpgrade as a helper component (e.g. when displaying publishing progress, or calculating hashes)

Release 2023-07-04 - 12.0.43

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where DeltaCopy failed for files with 0 bytes - such files are now skipped = not counted as an error
FIX	Fixed an issue where DeferralPromptIfLaunchedDirectly=0 was not honored when DeferralPrompt was set to 2 (always)
FIX	Fixed an issue where pmc.dll was not properly corrected for pm64.dll entries in EXTMGR_ADDINS in sharedddata\common, if a pmc.dll existed in NotesProgramDirectoryNew
FIX	Fixed an issue where EXTMGR_ADDINS, NSF_HOOKS, and AddinMenus were not cleaned up if source and target value were the same
ENHANCEMENT	Further improved EXTMGR_ADDINS cleanup: If no MarvelClient DLL is left after cleanup, but a user has a single entry pointing to a MarvelClient DLL, EXTMGR_ADDINS is set to root notes.ini value

Release 2023-07-01 - 12.0.42

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where DLL files were copied after the new EXTMGR_ADDINS cleanup introduced in 12.0.41, leading to unfortunate cleanup. DLL files are now copied over before any other files. After all, 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.
FIX	Fixed an issue where, when running as SYSTEM, InstallFinishedExec was waited for or the logfile ended prematurely
DEPRECATED	ini:CheckFileHandles is no longer supported

Release 2023-06-28 - 12.0.41

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where InstallFinishedTimeout was not honored when displaying the IconFinder / a success message dialog when running as SYSTEM
NEW / ENHANCEMENT	Added a new feature to display an optional logo.png/logo.gif (png takes precedence if both exist) at the top of upgrade messageboxes (except the IconFinder, as it would become too large)
NEW / CHANGE	DLL files in CopyTo... folders without the overwrite suffix will now also be overwritten if the source file is newer than the target file
NEW	EXTMGR_ADDINS, AddinMenus, and NSF_HOOKS notes.ini entries are now processed as follows: - if notes.exe is found in NotesProgramDirectoryNew, all entries are removed for which the bitness does not match - if a pmc64(.dll) entry is found, but no such binary, and a 64 bit pmc.dll binary exists, the entry is changed to pmc.dll - for entries which point to a binary which exists in both the program and data directory, the binary in the data directory is deleted - in case multiple entries point to a MarvelClient binary (whether Essentials or licensed), only the newest binary and corresponding entry are kept - in case entries point to a mix of MarvelClient Essentials and licensed binaries, the newest licensed binary is kept (even if older than the newest Essentials binary) (If the common data folder contains pmc_data.dll or pmc64_data.dll and a corresponding entry exists, the newest Essentials binary is kept) - entries pointing to non-existent binaries (in shareddata\common, program, or data, or (accessible) filename) are removed

Release 2023-06-09 - 12.0.40

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where multiuser notes.ini backups did not work for more than one user since including 12.0.36
FIX	Fixed an issue where silent GracefulShutdown was not done when running as system and DeferralPrompt was <> 0

Release 2023-06-07 - 12.0.39

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where during Initiator(Pre), several MCUpgrade.ini entries were wrongly expanded leading to a whitelist signature mismatch. This issue only occurred when during Initiator(Pre), SourceDirectoryInit and/or DeferralPrompt were changed.
ENHANCEMENT	Added logging of logfile fullpath
ENHANCEMENT	When running as SYSTEM and a console session user is present, SYSTEM, Administrators, and EVERYONE are automatically given all access to the LogFile (MCUprade.log)

Release 2023-05-31 - 12.0.38

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where the log file was not closed when running as SYSTEM before launching /woptimonly (or any other program in console session for that matter)

Release 2023-05-30 - 12.0.37

MCUpgrade

NEW

Added support for selective NotesDataDirectoryOldExclude by prefixing entries with "network:" (without quotes), e.g.

*.ntf
*.log
as_*.nsf
*.dsk
cache.ndk
network:archives\*
*.tmp

The above example will exclude archives from a data folder when migrating the old data directory on a network drive to local in user context, but will not exclude them when the old data folder is on a fixed disk.

NEW / ENHANCEMENT

Added a new option ini:StartupLinkMode; set to 1 to "recreate" any Notes startup links deleted during shortcut removal, set to 2 to create a common startup link in any case.
If set to 1, and both a public/common startup link and user startup links are detected, only the public/common one is recreated.
If no public/common startup link is detected but multiple user links, all user links are recreated.
Note that links which are recreated are based on the newly created public/common desktop link, and no based on the previous link details.
For example, if a user has a startup link to start the basic client with the -sa option, the newly recreated link will no longer start the basic client as it is based on the link freshly created by the installer.

Release 2023-05-10 - 12.0.36

MCUpgrade
FIX	MCShutdown: Added reading of HKCU64\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks instead of the previous sole reading of HKCU(32)\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks

FIX	Fixed an issue where notes.ini migration failed when upgrading from single to multiuser

Release 2023-02-20 - 12.0.34

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where on Windows < 10, the splash screen did not display properly when set to Cinema. Cinema is not supported on Windows < 10 and hence it should display screen #3.
FIX	Fixed an issue where shutdown notice message boxes did not always adjust font size according to DPI and scaling settings in Windows

Release 2022-10-28 - 12.0.33

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where animated GIFs were no longer playing since 11.0.52

Release 2022-08-25 - 12.0.28

MCUpgrade

FIX	If Coptim=2 is set in MCUpgrade.ini, and no terminal server session detected, and SharedDataDirectoryNew is set, any .dll file placed in CopyToProgramNew will be copied to SharedDataDirectoryNew\Common
FIX	WTS/Citrix detection is now fixed and significantly enhanced to detect Windows Terminal Server and Citrix Server through OS properties, as well as Client Protocol / Session details
ENHANCEMENT	Added new optional command line switches /citrix and /vdi - use either to prevent removing CITRIX=1 instructions from install instructions

Release 2022-07-29 - 12.0.27

MCUpgrade
NEW	ini:ProgressbarHideInit allows to hide the splash screen upon start of upgrade - it can still be displayed by double clicking on the tray icon then
FIX	Fixed an issue where upon installing the panagendaInstallerService, the service was not started immediately thereafter

Release 2022-07-26 - 12.0.26

Release 2022-06-22 - 12.0.25

MCUpgrade

NEW

Added support for placeholder %MCU_ConsoleSessionSID% which is resolved as the current console session user SID, if there is a console session user

NEW

If more than one uninstall instruction contains \nice.exe, HKEY_USERS\*\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes, HKEY_USERS\*\SOFTWARE\IBM\Notes, and HKEY_USERS\*\SOFTWARE\HCL\Notes are automatically removed.

This can be disabled by setting MCUpgrade.ini:PostUninstallRegistryCleanup=0

CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT

Things that depend on at least one uninstall instruction (e.g., shortcut removal), now specifically check for \nice.exe in at least one uninstall instruction, instead of just counting number of uninstall instructions

Release 2022-06-14 - 12.0.24

MCUpgrade
FIX	Fixed an issue where the progress bar splash was not loaded from where MCUpgrade was launched, but from the folder from where the launch was initiated (e.g., you open a cmd in C:\Users\Public and launch "\\uncpath\MCUpgrade.exe /pbar": previously, the splash was loaded from C:\Users\Public, now it is loaded from the execution folder)

Release 2022-05-30 - 12.0.23

MCUpgrade
NEW	MCUpgrade will now also cleanup/remove any Lotus\Notes\|IBM\Notes\|HCL\Notes folders under %programdata%, %programfiles(x86)% and %programfiles% if present and any so found folder does not match old\|new shared data, or old\|new Notes program files folder This is to prevent any installer from installing into an elder directory or parts thereof

Release 2022-02-28 - 12.0.22

MCUpgrade
NEW	Added a new option ini:MultiUserSymlinkCleanup; defaults to 1 if one or more uninstall instructions present in MCUpgrade.ini; otherwise not set. If set to 1, will delete any Lotus/IBM/HCL redirects according to MultiUserSharedDataOld and MultiUserSharedDataNew (e.g., C:\ProgramData\Lotus\Notes > C:\ProgramData\HCL\Notes) This fix is important for all customers upgrading to HCL Notes 12.0.1, due to an issue with how the HCL installer treats pre-existing redirects/symlinks
FIX	Fixed an issue where cleanup of directories was skipped, due to erroneous detection of same folders as redirects, e.g. Skipping removal of [C:\ProgramData\Lotus\Notes\Data]; [C:\ProgramData] is a redirect to [C:\ProgramData] ...
FIX	Fixed an issue where the old notes shared data was not cleaned up, if it pointed to a symlink folder; After reading ini:MultiUserSharedDataOld, redirects (symlinks and junction points) are now resolved immediately
FIX	Fixed an issue where negative exit codes (e.g., -10) from MCUpgradeMain were treated as success

Release 2021-11-22 - 12.0.20

FIX	Fixed an issue where when using ProgressBarCinema=1, a custom progress bar splash was always overwritten; it is now only replaced if it exists and is not 600x607 pixels
FIX	Fixed an issue where the progress bar did not update fast enough when many updates were done in very short time
FIX	Fixed an issue where appdata\local was migrated to new data directory if the old data directory was under appdata\local but did not end with "\data"

Release 2021-06-23 - 12.0.8

MCUpgrade
