FrameMaker 11.1 Update: some notes

[Jeff Coatsworth]

FYI - If you're not running RH's source control, you can uninstall/remove those 2 services; I found in the past that if you're not using source control, they can really destabilize your RH install.

To Gay:
My sympathies on the upgrade failure.
The first problem that we were not notified automatically when using the
check for updates from FrameMaker itself.
If it was not for this list I would never have known about the update. Thank
you,  Kapil Verma. Having said that I did successfully install the update. 
The new wrinkle in Winodows 7 was that two Adobe services have to be
disabled or suspended.
RS03 Middle tier service
and 
RS03 Server service
The second thing I did was to disable my Norton antivirus for one hour.
Everything else was shut down.
I then installed the update with no problem.

However, the update does not fix all the big problems with FM11 book
functions.
Yes it does print to ps.
However, over 1,000 pages print to ps was as unstable as before the update.

FrameMaker 11 is a huge step forward in terms of integration with other
TCS4, but FrameMaker 11.1must be able to perform its core book functions.
Every hardcopy publisher I know must have perfect book print functions.
I would also like to make a distinction between "crashes", when FM falls
over and gives a message and the more dangerous "hang" where one saves the
book and all the files and the blue circles keeps on turning without saving.
Our attempts to have a real progress bar have come to naught. So FM11 does
not print big books to ps and hangs while saving.
Anyone know where are the sample scripts or instructions not in the help
file for sure.
As ever
Unhappy camper
