Added Lotus Notes 8.5 Fix Pack 1
==Lotus Notes 8.5.0.1 (aka 8.5 FP1)==
IBM released Fix Pack 1 for Lotus Notes 8.5. Find it at IBM's Fix Central: http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/
This Fix Pack is an incremental update for Lotus Notes 8.5 so you should keep your original 8.5 installation package and add the fix pack to it:
* Download the fix pack and start the ''Notes_85FP1Standard_W32.exe'' file on a test-pc to get the actual installation files.
** Set the extraction path to %SOFTWARE%\LotusNotes\Lotus85FixPack1 or something alike
** When all files are extracted, the real setup wizard will now start. Choose cancel to abort it.
* Start adapting your LotusNotes85 package XML file:
** First add a new check, to be able to confirm if the fix pack is installed or not:
<source lang="xml">
<check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\notes.exe" value="8.5.1.9167" />
</source>
** Next add an install and an upgrade command after the current install and upgrade commands:
<source lang="xml">
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\LotusNotes\Lotus85FixPack1\setup.exe" /s /v/qn' />
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\LotusNotes\Lotus85FixPack1\setup.exe" /s /v/qn' />
</source>
** The removal commands should not be changed as they still work.
==Lotus Notes 8.5.0==
The installation method is exactly the same as for [[#Lotus Notes 8.0.x]]. Only does it seem to be necessary to manually uninstall the previous version during the upgrade; otherwise it fails on most workstations with the error "Some files that need to be updated are currently in use"
