Release Notes for McAfee Agent 4.0.0 Patch 2 (Windows)
Note: When writing a message to the error log file, the size of the current file is checked. If the
size equals or exceeds the file size limit set in the registry, the following actions will occur:
If the backup file (Agent_<system name>_backup.log) exists in the target folder, it is
deleted.
The current file (Agent_<system name>.log) is renamed as the backup file.
A new current file is created and the message is written in this file.
15. Issue: When the Internet Explorer setting "Automatically detect settings" is selected and "Use a
proxy server for your LAN" is not selected, an automated configuration script caused the update
process to fail. (Reference: 450058, 451906, 452028, 461210, 463930)
Resolution: The update process now runs as expected, independent of these Internet Explorer
settings.
Issues from the Patch 1 release of the software that are resolved in this release are listed below.
1. Issue: An update dialog box appeared in English rather than the non-English language running on
the system. (Reference: 389523)
Resolution: Update dialog boxes now appear in the language running on the system.
2. Issue: When using the "/forceinstall" switch and only changing the data (/datadir=<new folder>)
folder, the upgrade process did not remove the old data folder and used the new folder.
(Reference: 393182)
Resolution: Now when using the "/forceinstall" switch and changing the data (/datadir=<new
folder>) folder, the upgrade process removes the old data folder and uses the new folder.
3. Issue: When the AgentEvents folder was missing, the upgrade process failed. (Reference:
393764)
Resolution: Now the upgrade process creates the AgentEvents folder when it is missing.
4. Issue: Managed product installation routines were executed each time a deployment task ran on
systems that used a language other than English. (Reference: 399232)
Resolution: Managed product installation routines now execute only when necessary.
5. Issue: If the installation or data folder contained a double-byte character, the upgrade process
failed. (Reference: 404111)
Resolution: Now the installation and data folders can contain non-English characters.
6. Issue: When executing the VirusScan update process (mcupdate.exe) with the "/update" and "/
quiet" switches, an upgrade dialog box would still be displayed. (Reference: 405004)
Resolution: The VirusScan update process now honors the "/quiet" switch.
7. Issue: The upgrade process was checking for the existence of the "My Favorites" and "Fonts"
folders. If they were not present, the upgrade failed. (Reference: 405314)
Resolution: The upgrade process no longer requires the "My Favorites" and "Fonts" folders to be
present.
