Re: Financials Client question

Hello Maria

I got a call just yesterday about 8.1.6 on NT not installing on P4 machine. I researched metalink and they have some points. (BTW, we did DLL upgrade. Problem solved).

However, all the fixes are upgrading a DLL or the JInitiator. So, I do not think that the fix will prevent you from working with machines that are less then P4.

Make them prove their point. !!!!!!!!!!!
