Modules updated: INFOMAN.EXE 14) Ref: CFS.79484 Printing a TeamLinks mail message shows the created time instead of the modified time If a saved draft message is reopened and edited before it is sent, when the recipient prints the message it shows the date on which the message was created instead of the date on which it was sent. Modules updated: TLINFO32.DLL 15) Ref: CFS.79514 & CFS.80166 Warnings when reading copied messages If a TeamLinks user reads a message received from a VT client and then copies it to another folder, all attempts to read the copied message will generate a warning message and open the message in the Create Message window. Modules updated: INFOMAN.EXE 16) Ref: CFS.79964 Problem with printing mail contents that exceeds one page. While printing messages or attachments that exceed one page, the last line gets truncated. Modules updated: TLCONV32.OCX 17) Ref:CFS.80603 Usercache entries are not deleted from the Windows Registry Launching documents from an ALL-IN-1 or Office Server file cabinet creates registry entries which are not cleaned up even on exiting TeamLinks. Modules updated: INFOMAN.EXE 18) Ref: 11-3-5655 When creating the "Defaults" registry entry, Setup also writes the current user location Reinstalling TeamLinks overwrites the default settings with the current users settings. Any new user who logs into the system subsequently will not be able to use TeamLinks. Since ECO#1 modifies the TeamLinks Installation program (TLINS32.EXE), a network share that has been patched with ECO#1 should be used to install/modify TeamLinks instead of the original CD-ROM to get the benefit of this change. Modules updated: TLINS32.EXE 19) Ref: 11-3-5686 Send To | TeamLinks Mail is not available to all the users on Windows NT/2000 The Send To | TeamLinks Mail option in Windows Explorer appears only for the user who installed TeamLinks. Since ECO#1 modifies the TeamLinks Installation program (TLINS32.EXE), a network share that has been patched with ECO#1 should be used to install/modify TeamLinks instead of the original CD-ROM to get the benefit of this change. Modules updated: TLSTART.EXE TLINS32.EXE 20) Ref: 11-3-5693 Windows 2000 Server is always detected as Windows NT Terminal Server Windows 2000 Servers are always detected as Windows NT Terminal Server even if Terminal Services are not enabled. This causes Setup to fail. Since ECO#1 modifies the TeamLinks Installation program (TLINS32.EXE), a network share that has been patched with ECO#1 should be used to install TeamLinks instead of the original CD-ROM to get the benefit of this change. Modules updated: TLINS32.EXE TLSTART.EXE 21) Ref: 11-3-5728 Documentation errors in Client Admin Guide The TeamLinks Client Admin Guide for the chapter "TeamLinks Printing options" incorrectly references the registry entry HKCU\Software\TeamLinks\SETTINGS\Printing. The correct form of the registry key is HKCU\Software\Compaq\TeamLinks\SETTINGS\Printing. Summary of ECO Components ------------------------- The TeamLinks V4.5 ECO #1 Kit contains fixes for the following TeamLinks components: XL7TLINT.XLA CFCIOS32.DLL TLINS32.EXE TLSPL32.DLL TLINFO32.DLL INFOMAN.EXE TLSTART.EXE TLBTNBAR.OCX TLODMA32.DLL TLCONV32.OCX TLADDR32.OCX TLSETUP.EXE Installation Overview --------------------- The user should have administrator rights before installing TeamLinks V4.5 ECO#1. Note: If the user runs the TeamLinks V4.5 Setup program after installing this ECO kit,ECO#1 will have to be re-installed to patch the newly installed binaries. The ECO Kit consists of two files, the cover letter "TMWE0145CVR.TXT" and a self-extracting archive file "TMWE0145.EXE". The self-extracting file expands into four files, DISK1.EXE, DISK2.EXE, DISK3.EXE and DISK4.EXE that are also self-extracting. After expansion, install the ECO by running the SETUP.EXE file included on the kit. Note that the multiple DISK files serve to break the kit up into diskette-sized components so the user can distribute the ECO to individual users on diskettes. After expansion, simply copy the contents of each DISK directory to a similarly labeled diskette. Installation Procedure ---------------------- STEP 1: Extract the contents of TMWE0145.EXE into a temporary directory by performing the following tasks. If this ECO Kit has already been extracted into a shared area, or to diskettes, a) Launch an MS-DOS window. b) Create a temporary directory (for example, C:\TLPATCH). C:\> MD TLPATCH c) Set the current directory to the temporary directory. C:\> CD TLPATCH d) Copy the self-extracting file TMWE0145.EXE to the temporary directory e) Execute the self-extracting file. Be sure to include the file extension in the command. C:\TLPATCH> TMWE0145.EXE The following files are created in the temporary directory: DISK1.EXE DISK2.EXE DISK3.EXE DISK4.EXE f) Execute the first self-extracting DISK file. The /D qualifier is required for the creation of subdirectories. C:\TLPATCH> DISK1 /D g) Execute the second self-extracting DISK file using the /D qualifier to create subdirectories. C:\TLPATCH> DISK2 /D h) Execute the third self-extracting DISK file using the /D qualifier to create subdirectories. C:\TLPATCH> DISK3 /D i) Execute the fourth self-extracting DISK file using the /D qualifier to create subdirectories. C:\TLPATCH> DISK4 /D The ECO installation kit has been created in the sub-directories \DISK1, \DISK2, \DISK3 and \DISK4 in the temporary directory. j) Return to the Windows operating system to install the ECO. The files TMWE0145.EXE, DISK1.EXE, DISK2.EXE, DISK3.EXE and DISK4.EXE can now be deleted, as they are no longer required. STEP 2: Setup will determine how TeamLinks has been installed on the system and patch the files appropriately. This would involve either of the following: a) Patching the Server Installation b) Patching the Personal Copy that has been installed from the Server c) Patching the Personal Copy that has been installed from the CD-ROM a) Patching the Server Installation To patch the Server, the network administrator with write-access to the file share should use either a personal copy or a shared copy of TeamLinks that has been installed from the Server. Run SETUP.EXE from C:\TLPATCH\DISK1 o If TeamLinks has been installed as a Personal Copy from the Server then the user will be provided with two options: - "Patch all the TeamLinks files on this system" Use this option to patch the files installed on the local machine - "Patch all the TeamLinks files located on the network Server (Write Access is required)" Use this option to patch the files on the server. The patched files will now be available for all other users. (This option requires write access to the server) o If TeamLinks has been installed as a shared copy running from the Server, then the Server is patched without prompting the user. b) Patching the Personal Copy that has been installed from the Server This can be done in two ways: - Run SETUP.EXE from C:\TLPATCH\DISK1 to directly patch the files on the local system. - If TLVERCHK.EXE is installed on the client system, it will detect that the server has been patched and automatically run the ECO setup program to patch the local copy of TeamLinks when the user next logs onto the system. c) Patching a Personal Copy that has been installed from the CD-ROM If TeamLinks has been installed as Personal Copy from the distribution CD-ROM then, run SETUP.EXE from C:\TLPATCH\DISK1 to patch the files on the local system. Notes on Installing TeamLinks V4.5 ECO#1 on Windows 2000 The copy of SETUP.EXE that shipped on the distribution CD-ROM cannot be used to install TeamLinks on systems running Microsoft Windows 2000. To install TeamLinks V4.5 on Windows 2000 systems, you will need to do the following: - Make a network copy of TeamLinks V4.5 from the CD-ROM. (Refer to the online documentation for more details on creating a network installation) - Patch the network installation with ECO#1 as described in section b) of STEP 2 above. - Use the Add/Remove Programs applet from the Control Panel to run SETUP.EXE located on the network share to install TeamLinks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The following are trademarks of Compaq Computer Corporation: COMPAQ, the Compaq logo, the DIGITAL logo, ALL-IN-1, DEC, DIGITAL, AltaVista, MAILbus, MailWorks, OpenVMS, TeamLinks, Tru64 UNIX and VAX are registered in the U.S.Patent and Trademarks Office.
