Note that to upgrade VMware video drivers, you must upgrade the VMware tools, which includes all the drivers for the system.
This problem was experienced during testing of this release using the following VMware Software:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading VMware tools and the video driver with the following versions. Note that additional information can be found at the following VMware link: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1011709.
|
| L00107379: | The InTouch alarm group definition file (group.def) does not get copied to the execution directory of a deployed InTouchViewApp. A workaround is provided in Tech Note 256, "Using Network Application Development (NAD) with InTouch." |
| L00107919: | When you log on to the ArchestrA System Management Console (SMC) Platform Manager with a newly-created, Active Directory OS Group account for Application Server, and that OS Group account does not contain a "Full Name" description, the following error is generated: "User does not belong to any of the configured Roles". This also occurs when you log on to an InTouch application or Object Viewer.
To work around this issue, log on to the ArchestrA IDE first using the new OS Group account and then log on to the SMC, InTouch application, or Object Viewer. |

Windows 2008 does not support NetDDE for InTouchView applications. By design, an InTouchView application does not serve data to any other source, including InTouch itself. When WindowViewer starts, it verifies if the application is an InTouchView application. When WindowViewer detects an InTouchView application, it does not register to become a DDE server. ArchestrA Symbols make use of the client layer when accessing InTouch tags, and appear as a third-party client trying to access WindowViewer as a data server. As a result, ArchestrA Symbols cannot communicate with InTouch tags when used with an InTouchView license. Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Pro still support NetDDE.
In ArchestrA Symbols, InTouch:‹tagname› is still a valid method of referring to an InTouch tag on a local node.
InTouch versions 10.1, 10.1 SP2, and 10.1 SP2 Patch 01 support UAC-enabled run-time operations without elevated privileges. For all configuration and installation operations, including those called during run-time operations, UAC must be disabled or privileges must be elevated to the required level.
This section explains how to apply Patch 01 to existing instances of InTouch 10.1 SP2 installed at your site.
Important: InTouch Patch 01 must be applied only to InTouch version 10.1 SP2. No other version of InTouch can be upgraded with this patch.
The Patch 01 Setup.msp patch file is available from the Wonderware Technical Support web site. You can copy the Setup.msp patch file directly to the computer where InTouch is installed, or burn it to a CD. If you decide to copy the patch file to a CD, you must use the following conventions to prepare the Patch 01 CD:
In some cases, Wonderware InTouch HMI Version 10.1 SP2 Patch 01 is supported in newer environments than a compatible product. Wonderware InTouch HMI Version 10.1 SP2 Patch 01 has been tested for compatibility with a listed product only in the environments that are supported by that particular product. Wonderware InTouch HMI Version 10.1 SP2 Patch 01 is compatible and can co-exist with the following products:

Note:
If you are using multiple network interface cards (NICs), you must configure certain settings for the firewall or else a remote Vista node cannot connect to the Galaxy Repository node.
A connection in Vista is a term used to define a network interface card (NIC), its settings and the settings of whatever the NIC is connected to. Under certain circumstances, the connection on your computer can change if, for example, the IP address on your network card changes. Your computer's connection can be affected by external factors. During computer startup, and each time a connection changes, Vista goes through an "Identifying" process to determine which profile should be assigned to the connection.
A profile is a collection of firewall settings that can be applied to a connection. There are three profiles currently defined in Vista: Domain, Public, and Private.
This is important because the OS Configuration utility and the Vista Firewall utility apply their firewall exceptions to the Domain and Private profiles only.
As previously noted, you can specify which profile you want assigned to a connection as long as that connection is not a Domain connection. This is done through the "Network and Sharing Center". Click the Network icon located on the right side of the task bar and then click on one of the networks that is shown. You can change a connection from a Public profile to a Private profile. The firewall calls these settings "Profiles" but the network calls them "Location types."
On computers using dual NICs, the first NIC is normally connected to the domain and is assigned the Domain profile automatically. Windows typically assigns the second NIC the Public profile.
The first issue is that your entire computer (all connections) is restricted to the most restrictive of the profiles assigned to any connection. So if the second connection was assigned a profile of Public, none of the firewall exceptions set by the OS Configuration or Vista Firewall utilities will be allowed. The exceptions were set for Domain and Private only, not Public. You must set the second connection to the Private profile for any of the firewall exceptions to work. You want the active profile on the message exchange (MX) NIC to be the profile opened by OS Configuration.
The second issue is that it appears that a restart of your computer, or even a restart of a computer to which you are connected, can change your connection back to the Public profile. Once again the firewall exceptions will not be effective. You'll have to change the connection back to the Private profile after each restart or a restart of the connected computer.
To avoid these NIC issues and prevent the “Identifying” process from taking place on a connection and changing the assigned profile, certain items must be present in the definition of the connection. Follow these rules and procedures:
- Assign the NIC an IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. Typically, these addresses are internal, non-routable addresses. For example, 192.168.1.xx and 10. x.x.x are common addresses of this type.
- A NIC acting as Redundancy Message Channel (RMC) does not require a default gateway. Otherwise, the gateway can be the same as the IP address. Vista and Windows Server 2008 will identify this NIC and assign it a Private profile.
If you do not configure the second NIC, Vista and Windows Server 2008 will assign a profile of Public to this NIC and cause all of the Wonderware product firewall exceptions to be deactivated on all NICs.
- On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
- Enter and run this command: SECPOL.MSC. The Local Security Settings menu appears.

The behavior of Windows Vista with multiple NICs configured has carried forward to Windows Server 2008. If you are using multiple network interface cards (NICs) with Windows Server 2008 SP2, you must configure settings so that the firewall does not block remote node access to the Galaxy Repository. See Using Multiple Network Interface Cards with Windows Vista for further information and procedures applicable to Windows Vista and also to Windows Server 2008.
In some cases, Wonderware InTouch HMI Version 10.1 SP2 is supported in newer environments than a compatible product. Wonderware InTouch HMI Version 10.1 SP2 has been tested for compatibility with a listed product only in the environments that are supported by that particular product. Wonderware InTouch HMI Version 10.1 SP2 is compatible and can co-exist with the following products:

| L00094569 | Crashes occur when you use View.exe version 1412.466.0.0. This version is not in the InTouch HMI 10.1 Service Pack 2. (See SR 24514168, SR 24514150, and SR 20113127) |
| L00094994 | PrintScreen and PrintWindow functions do not work when WindowViewer is running as a service. (See SR 19417084 and SR 1950336) |
| L00095489 | An access violation error occurs when a query exceeds 1 kilobyte in length. (See SR 12610609 and SR 103114053) |
| L00096961 | After installing HotFix HF 1440, WindowViewer crashes after a few hours when using a blink animation link because the GDI continues to increase to the defined limit specified in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Windows. (See SR 33811098) |
| L00092171 | When starting AlarmDbLoggerManager, the Settings, Stop, and Start buttons remain disabled. |
| L00092204 | SPCPro is not supported on all versions of the Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later operating systems, resulting in inconsistent run-time behavior for SPC DDE items (e.g. autocollection, startcollection). |
| L00092635 | IDE imports files in Galaxy_XXX_localeID_Alarm_Comments_Untranslated.txt. InTouch cannot import files in that format. The InTouch HMI imports files in Galaxy_XXX_localeID_Alarm_Comments.txt format and the header information. |
| L00092766 |
On Windows Vista, the following help files cannot
launch: ddeshrnt.hlp,
ddeshrnt.hlp, ddeshrnt.hlp,
ddeshrnt.hlp, Hdmerge.hlp and
testprot.hlp. Microsoft WinHlp32.exe is
required to display 32-bit Help files that have the ".hlp" file name
extension. To view .hlp files on Windows Vista, you need to install this
application. |
| L00092774, L00096793 | The alarm hot backup pair does not work on Windows Vista or Windows 2008 for the query \\Machinename:ipaddress\intouch!$system using mstsc/console since no IP address required for remote logins. In this case, InTouch is the only provider. |
| L00092964 | WindowViewer reports low memory upon startup regardless if the system has enough memory available. |
| L00093253 | If you open a symbol with ShowSymbol animation and the symbol contains one or more expressions involving datapoints that are repeated across thousands of expressions already displayed in InTouch windows, the viewer freezes while all the datapoints are evaluated/updated. (Reference CRs L00092235 and L00092236. See SR 103115490; HotFix 1404.) |
| L00093388 | On Windows Vista, the following help files cannot launch: ddeshrnt.hlp, ddeshrnt.hlp, ddeshrnt.hlp, ddeshrnt.hlp, Hdmerge.hlp and testprot.hlp. Microsoft WinHlp32.exe is required to display 32-bit Help files that have the ".hlp" file name extension. To view .hlp files on Windows Vista, you need to install this application. |
| L00093559 | The calendar control in the graphic editor is drawn with different size fonts on different operating systems. For example, the sizes shown are different on Windows Server 2003 and 2008 operating systems. The size of the calendar control does not change when you change the font on the Windows Vista operating system. If a symbol with calendar control is saved in a Windows Server 2003 system and then opened in a Windows Server 2008 system, the size changes after export and import. This affects the symbol layout as well. As a workaround, ensure that your operating system themes are consistent in screen resolution, DPI, icon size, and font size settings. |
| L00094181 | In a Windows 2008 Server computer hosting an InTouch application that is an alarm provider, the alarm query for retrieving alarms from a remote machine does not work if the application is not running within the console. See Windows 2008 Restrictions for details. | L00096097 | Changes on InTouch CE (Windows 2008 64-bit) are not recognized by the validation process and display "Validation is already done". | L00096310 | Terminal Servers have at least 20% higher CPU usage on Windows 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit). | L00096790 | Help for the Annotate Layout function in InTouch states that it is supported only on an XP Tablet PC. Windows Vista is also supported. |
| L00096840 | On Windows 2008, the TseQueryRunningOnConsole() and TseQueryRunningOnClient() functions return incorrect values from a remote logon when using the same InTouch View opened from a console. |
| L00099595 | If you install InTouch with the Application Server auto-install checkbox selected, the Application Server installation location cannot be on a mapped network drive. This limitation occurs only on Windows 2008 (32/64-bit) and Windows Vista (32/64-bit) operating systems.
You can use the following procedure as workaround: Cancel the AutoAppServerLaunch and manually navigate to the network install folder to launch the Application Server install, or install both InTouch and Application Server using the installation CDs. |

n/a | If you perform a first-time string
substitution on an embedded symbol in a secondary language, the
substitution is also applied to the primary language, because the
translated string that previously existed for the primary language is no
longer valid. Because the primary language value is changed in the
symbol, this string applies to all secondary languages configured.
You can then perform a second substitution in the primary language, which
will apply to all secondary languages except the ones that have had a
specific substitution set. If you perform a string substitution in a secondary language with an existing string substitution in the primary language, the new substitution is applied to the secondary language only. |

Note:
| L00034858: | For an action script, double-clicking text within the double quotes selects additional text beyond the double-quotes, when a colon (:) follows the text. (See SR 1036163) |
| L00037488: | You can instantiate a SmartSymbol that references a tag that does not exist. (See SR#2351687) |
| L00039308: | The InfoAppTitle function does work with non-administrator user
rights. (See SR 1036792) |
| L00041099: | Printscreen and Printwindow functions do not work if WindowViewer is running as service. |
| L00048778 | Placing an apostrophe (single quote) in the comment text box of a discrete alarm tag (OnMsg) causes the Alarm DB Logger to fail to log an alarm. |
| L00067243: | Control label text is scrambled when created using the Wizard Graphics and saved as a SmartSymbol. (See SR 23514920) |
| L00071647: | The OnShow script in an ArchestrA Symbol appears to run, but the script does not set an attribute. (See SR 14811879) |
| L00072300: | When a client control is deleted and a new version of the client control is imported from a remote IDE, an ArchestrA Symbol referencing the client control will show Version 1 on the remote IDE and Version 2 on the Galaxy Repository IDE. This is a mismatch of versions. (See SR 103112086) |
| L00073550: | The graphic element reference list is incomplete, or it is corrupted. The error message "Failed to get Graphic element reference list" appears in the SMC logger. (See SR 23515471) |
| L00075206: | Customized graphic text is lost after group change. (See SR14811926) |
| L00075269: | The RegisterEngine number decreases when a new connection is made using remote desktop (TSE) to the Application Server. (See SR 16310052) |
| L00075763: | Custom property links for ArchestrA symbols do not accept the following special characters that can be used in InTouch tag names: _(underscore), -(hyphen), $(dollar), %(percent), and &(ampersand). |
| L00075800: | MX References do not start in scripting; .InputSource in ArchestrA Symbols does not start in scripting. The MX References do work on display the link and in a custom property. (See SR 15010810) |
| L00076011: | Graphic symbol custom property overrides are lost after group change. (See SR 14811926) |
| L00076900: | Warning "Could not find embedded graphics" appears after a template and its instances of a Galaxy are exported as an aaPKG file, and are then re-imported into a new Galaxy. (See SR 33430263) |
| L00081430: | License enforcement of Terminal Service Edition does not work. Too many WindowViewer sessions are permitted to open. |
| L00081739: | The Graphic toolbox pop-up window and the Graphics tab preview window thumbnails show "not found" when an application object instance containing symbols with date time picker is imported in a new Galaxy. |
| L00083495: | SPC Pro does not work when WindowViewer is started up directly on a computer with a standard user login. |
| L00085207: | If you are using the SPC Control Chart on the Windows Vista operating
system, you need to specify a System Data Source Name (DSN) and make sure
that all application users can write to the folder in which the database
file resides. 1) The ODBC data source needs to be created as a System DSN and not as a User DSN. As application creator must be admin/power-user and application user can be standard user, it is likely these will be different users. A User DSN won't work for standard user and gives errors in the SMC. 2) If you are using a database file (such as a Microsoft Access MDB file), then application creator must ensure that the application user can write to the folder in which the database file resides. Writing is required for database access (for example, adding sample points in the database). By default, most folders are not write-enabled. |
| L00077445: | Touch push button animations do not work on client controls. |
| L00078446: | The Symbol Editor stops responding when you edit the "format string" property of the “checked list box” client control. |
| L00081354: | Windows do not print if the window name contains special characters.
Rename the directory path and the filename to remove all special characters. |
| L00082814: | WindowViewer does not start when configured to start as a service. An
error message appears “Access denied.” The user win.ini and the MS Windows
system win.ini are not in sync. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832048 to pick up the correct system win.ini file. |
| L00083270: | Spaces are not imported as part of the translation for the selected language. |
| L00083636: | Terminal Server sessions crash when a ViewApp is changed and then
redeployed while WindowViewer is running in a 100-terminal session
configuration across 10 Terminal Servers. For certain applications and systems, you need to adjust the restart delay time by adding "ViewManagedRestartWaitPeriod" to the "Intouch" section in the Win.ini file. The default delay time is 5-seconds. |
| L00083828: | There are inconsistencies between the selected language and the strings that are shown. |
| L00083847: | After you click "NO" in the Network Application Development properties dialog box, WindowViewer does not ask you to "restart" and "load" changes. |
| L00083909: | InTouch applications receive quality status and locale information from the deployed Galaxy. InTouch applications cannot receive data from an undeployed Galaxy. |
| L00084010: | Translations are not loading after embedding a primitive from a different Galaxy employing a different language. Only the default English strings are shown. |
| L00084834: | The Annotation window stops responding if you use standard Windows
cut, copy, and paste shortcuts. Microsoft provides a Microsoft.Ink.dll CLR2.0 Update. See the following link to download the update. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=84bbefa4-7047-41df-8583-e3bdbf9d805f&DisplayLang=en |
| L00086229: | Running the AlarmDBLogger Manager as a Windows service is not
working. Disable this option for Vista. |
| L00088095: | If you are a Terminal Server user and you do not have "Administrator" privileges, you must be either a "Power User," or a "Remote Desktop User" to access the license. Otherwise, you receive a licensing error message. It is not obvious that you are missing rights and privileges necessary to successfully login. |
| L00088673: | Non-English locale animation static "text" strings are not propagated to default (English) locale static "text" strings. |
| L00088871: | Exporting the language dictionary using Microsoft Vista may result in
not being able to retrieve the dictionary file as a standard
user. When running WindowMaker as a standard user elevated to administrator rights as a different user than logged onto the Desktop, exporting the Language dictionary opens a default path that is not accessible by the standard user. It is recommend that you change the path to a public folder location. |
| L00088974: | When an ArchestrA Symbol is exported from an application developed with an English version of InTouch and imported into an application developed in a different InTouch Language, like French, the strings of the ArchestrA Symbol cannot be substituted in WindowMaker. |
| L00088993: | An ArchestrA Symbol with string substitutions is not showing the string substitutions in WindowMaker when the Galaxy Primary language is not English. |
| L00088998: | InTouch Applications, which are configured to support runtime language switching and contain ArchestrA Symbols and native InTouch animations, initially show mixed language strings, if executed in an operating system language different from the one in which it was originally developed. |
| L00089000: | The EnableDisableKeys function does not work in a Vista operating system, if the user is configured as a Standard User. Use the runtime environment configuration options in WindowMaker in addition to the operating system security policies to lock the application from access to the desktop. |

n/a | Add the following text after the first
paragraph: If you perform a first-time string substitution on an embedded symbol in the primary language, that substitution is shown in the secondary languages. You can then perform a substitution in the secondary language to create a string substitution specific to the secondary language. If you perform a first-time string substitution on an embedded symbol in a secondary language, the substitution is also applied to the primary language, because the translated string that previously existed for the primary language is no longer valid. Because the primary language value is changed in the symbol, this string applies to all secondary languages configured.
