Reinstalled GW 6.5 and now can’t get Formativ to show up

[Anonymous]

I just installed an update to GW 6.5 and all my Formativ apps disappeared. I tried reinstalling Formativ, but am still not getting any Formativ apps. Are there any suggested steps for restoring Formativ to my newest version of 6.5?

I think you have the same problem as
Valveamp has posted in Runtime-forum:
“GW 6.5 sp1 rev B client breaks formativ”

We have the same problem reported there.
The only solution for us was reinstalling
the client without the new SP

I have the same problem with developer, althought I still see Formativ editing or reading a message, the main taskbar disappeared.
Any help ?

Later today we will be making available 1.5.9.5, which addresses this GW 6.5 SP1 toolbar/menu issue. Please watch this thread and the main support page for details.

GroupWise 6.5 SP1 Beta fix – Formativ 1.5.9.5 update for Admin, Developer and Runtime

As part of the forthcoming GroupWise 6.5 SP1 client, Novell fixed a long-standing problem relating to way third parties interact with the main GroupWise toolbar and menu system. Previous versions of Formativ contained code to workaround the original client problem. The fix introduced in 6.5 SP1 invalidated the original Formativ code, preventing Formativ toolbar buttons and menu items from being added to main GroupWise window. This update ensures Formativ buttons and menu items are added when used with the 6.5 SP1 client.

The updated installation files are available from the Formativ Download Page
