Problem
You are installing the Notes 6.5.4/6.0.5 client in UI mode (that is, not silently) and specify the data directory to a network drive. However, the installation fails with the error:
"1926 could not set file security for file..."
This issue can also occur when upgrading to Notes 6.5.4 using UI mode.
Solution
This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering as SPR # RHAN6CAJY9 and is under investigation. You can work around this issue in three ways:
I. You can use a release of Notes prior to 6.5.4/6.0.5.
II. You can perform the installation of the client in Silent mode using the parameters:
e:\setup.exe -s-a /v"DATADIR=h:\lotus\notes\data /qb+"
or
msiexec /i "e:\lotus notes 6.5.4.msi" DATADIR=h:\lotus\notes\data /qb+
Where e:\ is the mapped drive to the install files and h:\ is the mapped drive to the user network folder.
III. A new Lotus Notes 6.5.4.MSI file has been created for the Client Only and All Client installation packages. You can replace the original Lotus Notes 6.5.4.MSI file with the one available in this Technote.
If you have downloaded the single executable for the Notes 6.5.4 Client Install, you can use the following procedure to extract the installation files and then replace the existing Lotus Notes 6.5.4.MSI file with the new one provided in this Technote:
1. Obtain the executable from the Lotus or Passport advantage web site. Full install executables are named "c******.exe," where the asterisks represent a combination of alphanumeric characters.
2. Run the executable, but stop when you get to the first installation screen.
3. Run a search on the operating system to locate the file Data1.cab or LotusNotes.itw file. These installation files will be extracted to a subdirectory of the Windows Temp folder named "pft***.tmp".
4. Copy all 8 of the installation files in the subdirectory to another folder on the OS. These 8 files will be used to run the Client Install.
5. Go back to the Notes setup and select Cancel.
6. In the folder that contains the installation files, delete the existing Lotus Notes 6.5.4.MSI file and replace it with the one from this Technote. Place the folder in a network location that is accessible to any users who will be installing or upgrading the Client.
7. This procedure will need to be done for the All Client and Client Only Install Packages.
8. The Client can then be installed by pointing to the Lotus Notes 6.5.4.MSI file or Setup.exe using SmartUpgrade, Silent Installs, or chosen installation Method.
