341.0. "VAXPHV10_U2055 for 5.5-2H4 ?" by SEKULA::BOJOVIC () Tue Mar 18 1997 01:14

Hello,

A customer of mine could not install VAXPHV10_U2055 on a machine running
5.5-2H4, but they desperately need the new FXDRIVER supplied by the patch.

Would it be safe to just take the driver and copy it to [SYS$LDR], or should
I open an IPMT case and ask for a new version ?

The one they have is "X-20" "8-JUL-1992 09:52:20.28"

Thank you for reading this, regards,

Sekula Bojovic

    It's far safer to open the IPMT, as various images in a patch kit can
    be inter-related.  (Is there a particular reason they cannot install
    the patch kit?)
