I installed Lotus Connections 2.0 fixpack 1 at a customer site today. It wasn’t as easy as expected and I had to restart the installation program 3 times but eventually I got through. Here are the steps I went through:
- Stop all Lotus Connection features
- Download fixpack and the update installer
- Unzip the installer to a directory called “update” under your Lotus Connections installation directory
- Create a directory called fixes in the “update” directory you just created and copy the fixpack to this directory
- Rename the 2.0.0.0-LC-Multi-FP000001.jar to LC2001_Fixpack.jar
- Open DOS prompt on Lotus Connections server
- Run command: SET WAS_HOME=<path to WAS e.g. c:ibmwebsphereappserver>
- Initialize the command prompt by running <path to WAS>binsetupCmdLine.bat e.g. c:ibmwebsphereappserverbinsetupCmdLine.bat
- Navigate to the “update”-directory and execute this command: updateLC.bat -fixpack -install -installDir <path> -fixpackDir <path> -fixpackID LC2001_Fixpack -wasUserId <WAS user> -wasPassword <WAS admin password>

Come on IBM – how difficult would it be to write a script to perform the above steps and make it easier?
