Note1: The device driver which has been installed on the system would be intact. However, it would be affected if the device driver is installed again. The Device Driver for IDR would be always affected unless following the workaround.

Note2: This issue would occur with any combination of currently published DDI and service pack or hotfix.

Workaround:
Please follow the steps given below to prevent the issue.

A. When IDR option is NOT being used:

1. Install the latest service pack
2. Install hotfixes published later than the service pack
3. Execute the latest Device Driver Installer (DDI) even if the same version has been installed.

If another hotfix needs to be installed after the workaround, follow steps 2 and 3 again.
If another DDI needs to be installed after the workaround, just execute the DDI.

B. When IDR option is being used:

1. Create a folder to save the latest IDR modules.
Note: Do not create the folder under <Backup Exec Installed Folder>\idr. It may cause an error of IDR Preparation Wizard.

2. Save IDR modules given below onto the created folder. If these modules have been saved, compare the time stamp and save new one.

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\idr\disk4 (by default)
·
3. Delete the modules from the original place.
4. Install the latest service pack.
5. Install hotfixes published later than the service pack.
6. Save the modules if current modules are later than the saved modules.
7. Execute the latest DDI even if the same version has been installed.
8. Save the modules if current modules are later than the saved modules.
9. Copy back the latest saved modules onto the original place.
10. Get a full backup.
11. Run the IDR Preparation Wizard and create a Bootable CD Image, Bootable Tape Image, or Full set of boot diskettes for the Windows Installation

If another hotfix needs to be installed after the workaround, follow steps 2, 3 and 5 through 11 again.
If another DDI needs to be installed after the workaround, follow steps 7 through 11 again.
