IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 FP1 install failed

With the recent release of FP1 for IBM Lotus Notes / Domino 8.5.2 ( link ) I downloaded the various Fix Pack files I wanted and started applying the Fix Pack to different machines.

Domino on Linux and Windows upgraded without issue however I had problems upgrading my standard Notes client (with Admin & Designer).

The dialog shown would indicate the installer was interrupted and that my installation was left unmodified.

Digging through the notesinstallfix.log showed an error copying npnotes.dll.

Checking the 8.5.x forum found the same issue for a few other people ( link ).

Renaming the file as per the suggestion by Hubert Wagner and running the installer again completes without error.

I also had some issues but one needs to shut down, Notes, Sametime, Symphony, run nsd-kill just in case any threads are open and lastly shut down Firefox.

I have no idea why Firefox affects it, but this is what i have found on my laptop for a while now.

Then it installed fine.

I applied the fix pack for free domino designer without any issue. I shut down all the services of Notes in window services before installing the FP. I have no idea for Domino Server since I don't have the Server.
