Client fixes are always complete replacements.

On Windows, it's a good idea to stop the services before you do the upgrade, 
that will prevent you getting the msg that you need to reboot after the upgrade.
Then just run setup.exe for the new client, it's a "flop on top" install, easy 
peasy.

TSM retains your config files, and you don't have to reconfigure the services.
Just restart the services after you do the upgrade.

However:
It's not recommended to install the "interim" fixes (the fixes with a non-zero 
4th digit), unless you need them for a specific problem.
Those are patches that don't get the full QA testing.

Stick to the "maintenance" releases (zero 4th digit).
For your customer, you would go from 5.5.1.0 to 5.5.4.0.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Installing interim fixes

Hi,

Most of our customer servers were installed with TSM client 5.5.1


1) If I were to install the interim fix, I assume the most recent interim fix 
(example 5.5.1.16) would contains fixes of earlier interim fixes. Is that 
correct? So I just need to install the most recent interim fix right (example 
5.5.1.16) without installing earlier fixes ( example 5.5.1.6, 5.5.1.10, etc) ?

2) If I install the interim fix on the customer server, do I need to rerun the 
Setup Wizard and reconfigure the BA, Client Adapter Service and scheduler? Or I 
just install the interim fixes and it will use the existing .opt file without 
reconfiguring?

Can someone please advice me? Really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Chan
