The VSAWS303_Hotfix30001.exe program assumes that the agent is installed and running in a production environment. If you are installing this hotfix as part of a new installation, some additional steps are required as provided below. In all cases, run VSAWS303_Hotfix30001.exe on all computers where VSA for Web Servers components are located, whether it is a web server host where only the agent component resides, or a workstation that hosts the VSA for Web Servers manager server and console.

On web server hosts where the VSA for Web Servers agent is installed and is configured and monitored by an agent console on another workstation, the following files are updated in the agent installation folder. By default, this folder is C:\Program Files\PentaSafe\VSAforWebServers:

  • Patcherrout.log
  • PatchHistory.log
  • agent\htdocs\version.html
  • agent\pams\afpams.jar
  • agent\pams\webpams.jar

On web server hosts where VSA for Web Servers is installed in its full, standard distribution, and/or it serves as a console to agents distributed on other hosts, the following files are updated in the agent installation folder. By default, this folder is C:\Program Files\PentaSafe\VSAforWebServers:

  • Patcherrout.log
  • PatchHistory.log
  • guiserver\htdocs\version.html
