HIPS 8 Patch 4

[greatscott]

Any more hints as to when this is going to be dropped? Or any pre-release of release notes?

Hello,

P4 has been delayed.    New RTS date is January 20, 2014, with the RTW date expected on February 17th, 2014.

Apparently a "rare kernal driver installation defect" was found and this means they need a new core build to be created and re-tested.

Interesting.  Thanks for the info, ICHAPMAN.

Hello

any news about the download available ?

KB80064 seems to be not up to date.

Patch 4 RTW should be available later this week.

I confirm that patch 4 resolves the issue with ENTRUST iPKI ESP Desktop 9.2 when it was installed before HIPS.

Why HIP80LMLRP2 and HIP80LMLRP4 have the same ProductCode ?

Is it a problem if I use msiexec.exe to install or uninstall the sofware ?

setup32.ini

HIPS 8.0. P2
ProductCode={6B005DF6-6B6E-4551-B632-B0001DF50499}
ProductVersion=8.00.0202

setup32.ini

HIPS 8.0 P4
ProductCode={6B005DF6-6B6E-4551-B632-B0001DF50499}
ProductVersion=8.00.0402

HIPS 8.0 P2 and P4 are the same major product version (HIPS 8.0).

Using the msiexec.exe to install HIPS is not supported, as there is pre-req software that gets installed beforehand.  Using the McAfeeHIP_ClientSetup.exe installer is the only supported method.

For uninstalling could I use the KB73127 with msiexec ?

Correct.  Both install and uninstall use MSIExec, but the install as pre-req software to install.  The uninstall is a simple removal using MSI.
