added Lotus Notes 8.5
==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"
 
Use the instructions in [[#Lotus Notes 8.0.x]] to create a deployable silent installer package.
And create a package xml similar to:
<source lang="xml">
<package id="lotusnotes8"
name="Lotus Notes Client 8.5.0"
revision="8500"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Lotus Notes 8.5" />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\lotusnotes\Package850\setup.exe" /s' />
 
<!-- first uninstall Lotus 8.0.2 -->
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /x {D671062E-44AF-4DC6-AD89-92921D1E1779}' />
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\lotusnotes\Package850\setup.exe" /s' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x {7482779A-D19E-48DA-9CAC-8DB51F949864}' />
</package>
</source>
 
==Lotus Notes 8.0.x==
This is a silent installer for Lotus Notes 8.0.x (tested for 8.0.1 and 8.0.2). To use this, it is necessary to prepare Lotus Notes for silent installation, which can be done either by extracting the necessary files from the CD or alternatively launch the installation, and whenever it is making first inquiries (except in some cases the inquiry of where to temporarily store the installation files), locate the "temp" directory to extract the files.
