Login and access control problems in MSS version 4.0

We have found the following user login and access control problems in MSS 4.0 that make usage of the software inconvenient:

• Medikro Spirometry Software and Medikro Administration Tool won’t start, if the Windows username contains Scandinavian letters such as ä,ö,å,ü.
• Medikro Administration Tool doesn’t show Scandinavian letters right in Windows user names and groups.
• Medikro Administration Tool doesn’t allow logging in a domain user that belongs to the local administrator group.
• Medikro Administration Tool doesn’t allow selecting domain users and groups in Access Control Management.

These problems can be repaired by installing a separate patch file as instructed below. It is recommended to assign the installation for IT professionals. If you are not a person responsible for software installations, please deliver this note to your organization’s responsible IT person.

Instructions

1. First, you have to check, whether the installed Medikro Spirometry Software 4.0 is 32-bit or 64-bit. If the file c:\Program Files\Medikro\Applications\MedikroCommunicationAndData4.dll file size is about 1.5 MB, installation is 64-bit. If the file size is about 1.2 MB, installation is 32-bit. Instead, if the file is found in c:\Program Files (x86)\Medikro\Applications, installation is 32-bit.
2. Download Windows Installer Package (*.msi) as ZIP -file. If your installation is 32-bit, use the file M9888_Patch_for_MSS_(UserNote_M5239)_32bit.msi. In the case of 64-bit, use the file M9888_Patch_for_MSS_(UserNote_M5239)_64bit.msi. Optionally, you can request a patch installation cd from Medikro.
3. Close the Medikro Spirometry Software and Medikro Administration Tool, if they are running in the workstation.
4. Copy the patch file to any local folder. Run the patch file as an administrator.
5. Installation program “M9888 Patch for MSS (UserNote M5239)” starts.
6. Click “Next” in the first window.
7. Click “Install” in the second
8. When the installation is ready, click “Finish” in the last window.
9. Now you can start to use Medikro Spirometry Software and Medikro Administration Tool.
10. If you want to verify that patch has updated the files, check the version numbers of the files C:\Program Files\Medikro\Applications\AdminTool.exe and C:\Program Files\Medikro\Applications\PersonsAndStudies.exe is starting with 4.0.1.

Installing the patch silently

Patch can be run silently using the command (64-bit patch in the example):

msiexec /qn /i ”[PATH]\M9888_Patch_for_MSS_(UserNote_M5239)_64bit.msi” AT_PATH=”[INSTALLATION FOLDER]” PAS_PATH=”[INSTALLATION FOLDER]”

[PATH] is a full path to msi file

[INSTALLATION FOLDER] is the installation folder of Medikro applications, typically ”C:\Program Files\Medikro”.

Run the patch file as an administrator.
