TCP/IP V5.3 ECO 4

[Twin Dolphins]

This patch is included in the VMS 7.3-2 Patch List along with TCP/IP V5.4 ECO 1. The subject patch will not install, however the V5.04 patch does. Of interest, on the Patch Site, if you search for TCPIP instead of browsing for all 7.3-2 patches, the subject patch doesn't show up. I'm thinking that the V5.4 patch supercedes the subject patch. Below is the error messages during the install

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

When you upgrade to VMS 7.3-2 you have the
option of retaining TCP/IP 5.3 if it is installed -- hence the availability of the
patch in the VMS 7.3-2 area. It ONLY applies
to TCP/IP 5.3, which is what you are told if
you try to install it after installing 5.4

Dave: Thanks. That makes sense, since like you said, it won't install after the 5-4 patch. Thanks, Jeff

Hi,

can not resist the opportunity for a plug ;-)

If you do have Perl installed on your system, have a look at

http://zinser.no-ip.info/common/vms/sw/notes/pcsi_inst.zip

Among other things it will give you a list of all products and patches (including revision), which are currently installed on your system (i.e. the ones which have been removed/superseeded are >>not<< shown, unlike product show hist is doing).

Greetings, Martin
