Situation
If a device has the Bundle Management agent component set to
uninstalled (see
ZENworks Agent Settings in
ZENworks Adaptive Agent which is part of
ZENworks 11 SP2 System Administration Reference) during an
upgrade from one agent version to another, then the novell-zenworks-windows-desktop-langs
MSI file which forms part of the agent is not upgraded. The MSI
file does not get automatically upgraded if the component is later
marked for installation.
Resolution
This is fixed in version 11.2.1 - see KB 7010042 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7010042
Cause
The language MSI was treated as part of the core agent for
standalone purposes, but as part of Bundles for System Update. So
if the component was uninstalled at the time of upgrade, it was
ignored: if it was later marked for install, the process assumed
that the upgrade had taken place, and the MSI was not
upgraded.
Additional Information
The MSI is only used for the NAL (Application Launcher) EXEs and
DLLs, and is it possible that there may be strings (messages) that
have been upgraded between versions that are not present in this
scenario, but Novell has not had any reports of this issue causing
any problems.
