Environment

Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Support Pack 1 - ZDM7 SP1 Desktop Management
Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Support Pack 1 - ZDM7 SP1 Application Launcher (NAL)

Situation

When an application object is forced cached an install cache is created. The files in the install cache are compressed. In a situation where the application launcher needs to update a locked file, it creates a temporary file in the same directory where the original file lives. This temporary file is moved and renamed after reboot of the workstation. After the reboot the file is corrupt.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Service Pack 1 Interim Release 3a, available at https://download.novell.com
