FAQs

 What does the NotesMedic Toolkit™ do?
As many Lotus Notes users know, a crash leads to frustration and
complaints as it normally requires you to reboot your computer.
This takes about 5 minutes as you must shut down everything else
you were working on just to get back into Lotus Notes. For power
users, this time really adds up. NotesMedic Toolkit™ allows you to
restart your Lotus Notes client after a crash without rebooting
your computer.
How do I use the NotesMedic Toolkit™ ?
- After a Lotus Notes crash, simply click on the NotesMedic™ icon
located on your desktop, system tray, or within Programs -
Cassetica Software - NotesMedic Toolkit™.
- NotesMedic Toolkit™ will close any open processes that need to
be closed before you can restart Lotus Notes.
- NotesMedic™ will show you all the Lotus Notes processes that it
has stopped.
- In the Launch Application area, you will see the entire Lotus
Notes client executables installed on your workstation.
- Select the client you would like to start and press the Launch
button.
- The client will start and the NotesMedic™ window will
automatically close.
Can I make copies of NotesMedic Toolkit™ or post NotesMedic
Toolkit™ on our servers?
This is only legal if you have obtained an Enterprise or Global
license (please see licensing tab).
What platforms / Operating Systems does the NotesMedic Toolkit™
work with?
The NotesMedic Toolkit™ can be used with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT
4.0, 2000, XP, and Vista.
Can I do a silent install?
For an InstallScript MSI or InstallScript project, the command
Setup.exe /s runs the installation in silent mode, by default based
on the responses contained in a response file called Setup.iss in
the same directory. (Response files are created by running
Setup.exe with the /r option.) To specify an alternative file name
or location of the response file, use the /f1 option.
The command Setup.exe /s also suppresses the Setup.exe
initialization window for a Basic MSI installation program, but it
does not read a response file. To run a Basic MSI product, run the
command line Setup.exe /s /v/qn. (To specify the values of public
properties for a silent Basic MSI installation, you can use a
command such as Setup.exe /s /v"/qn
INSTALLDIR=D:\Destination".)
How do I log the Install\Uninstall of the NotesMedic Toolkit™
?
| 1. |
Extract the MSI file out of the setup.exe as follows:
After installing the NotesMedic Toolkit™ , search your computer for
the file Cassetica Software NotesMedic 6.0.msi. |
| 2. |
Copy the file path and reference it as follows:
msiexec /i "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded
Installations\{EAC23AF2-356E-4A48-8F62-6D54911CA033}\Cassetica
Software NotesMedic Toolkit™ 6.0.msi" /l*vx c:\notesmedic.log
Note: You may want to add the line above to a batch file and then
run tha batch file. |
