KNOWN ISSUES

1. Error message, "Internal Error 2356 Cabs.w1.cab"

This error occurs when you attempt to install VirusScan Enterprise from an Installation Designer modified package to a target computer that already has VirusScan Enterprise installed.

When deploying to target computers that are already running VirusScan Enterprise, Network Associates recommends deploying a settings file rather than an entire installation package.

However, if it is necessary to deploy an entire installation package to computers already running VirusScan Enterprise, and you do not have a method in your environment for uninstalling software, follow these steps:

1. Open the UNINST.INI file in the new modified installation package.
2. Locate the section, "Uninstall steps for VSE 7.0."
3. Change the flag "bSkipProduct=1" to 
"bSkipProduct=0".
4. Save and close the file.

This change uninstalls all versions of VirusScan Enterprise and competitors' products during the VirusScan Enterprise installation process from a modified installation package.

2. Error message, "This feature requires Administrative privileges. You will not be able to edit current settings. Please contact your system administrator for rights"

You may receive this error when you have chosen to use a configuration file from an installation package created with McAfee Installation Designer, and attempt to configure the recipients of the Alert Properties dialog box accessed from the Alert Manager Properties dialog. 
If you receive this error, you must choose a different source for the settings file.

3. Overwrite of local environment settings on the destination system.

When you have chosen "Modify an existing installation by generating a new settings file" on the Welcome dialog box, and selected "Existing VirusScan Enterprise settings on local system" on the Source for Configuration dialog box, then selected "Save the entire configuration" on the Type dialog box, some computer-dependent information (such as the Alert Manager installation path and local computer name) is saved to the McAfee Installation Designer tree. 

This causes the Installation Designer configuration applicator to overwrite local environment settings on the destination systems.  

4. For this beta release, the settings (.CAB) file is not encrypted.
