## Purpose

This document supplements the product Release Notes and Patch Notes in the release package and details installation fixes included in VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i Repost Patch 1.

## Improvements

Improvements made with this release of the software are described below:

1. The installation packages for patches and reposts have been upgraded so that the installation log name, created in the McAfeeLogs folder, has a dynamically generated name based on the current date and time of the installation. This helps save logs that might have been overwritten with the previous “backup previous log only” method.

2. The on-access scanner memory scan function (Processes on enable) has been modified significantly to make it more comprehensive. Because of this change, the installer has been modified to enable the option only if VirusScan is installed under Maximum Security settings.

3. The installation of VirusScan Enterprise now disables the Defender feature of Microsoft Windows Vista in order to improve performance of the operating system.

## Known issues

Known issues in this release of the software are described below:

1. Issue: VirusScan 8.7i Patch 1 introduced an issue with Microsoft Outlook where keyboard entries made during the delivery of an email were lost.
   NOTE: This issue is resolved by HotFix VSE85HF464768, included with this release. Refer to "Additional Steps for HotFix 464768" for installation instructions.

## Resolved issues

The resolved issues are divided into subsections per patch, showing when each fix was added to the compilation.

#### Repost Patch 1 resolved issues:

1. Issue: Silent installations might fail on hard drives that are designated as dynamic. The on-access scanner service fails to start, and the installation rolls back. (Reference: 443669)
   Resolution: The Patch 1 Repost and later installation packages now install to a dynamic disk, silently.

2. Issue: Modifying an installation of VirusScan Enterprise to add the on-access scanner component caused the scanner to be in a disabled state. (Reference: 464808)
   Resolution: The modification to add the on-access scanner component now correctly enables the scanner at the completion of the installation.

3. Issue: A 8E bugcheck (blue screen) sometimes occurred when VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i was installed along with Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient. (Reference: 438771)
   Resolution: The link driver was updated to avoid probing kernel memory unnecessarily.

4. Issue: During an upgrade from a customized VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i to VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i, an issue sometimes occurred where the configuration tool did not properly back up and restore the registry information. The installation was left in a state where some of the product information still showed as the older version. (Reference: 443019)
   Resolution: The McAfee Installation Designer configuration applicator has been changed to be more comprehensive in backing up and in version checking during the upgrade, in order to prevent failures by other McAfee product installations that require version 8.7i.

5. Issue: Creating a McAfee Installation Designer change package for VirusScan Enterprise and the AntiSpyware Enterprise Module sometimes failed to upgrade the evaluation versions to licensed versions, for both products. (Reference: 437509)
   Resolution: McAfee Installation Designer configuration applicator upgrades the licenses of VirusScan Enterprise and the AntiSpyware Enterprise Module when they are both evaluation versions.

## Installation Instructions

- Refer to the VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i Installation Guide to install and deploy software in a production environment.
- A reboot is needed to fully load the system drivers into memory. The package installation does not force the reboot.
