A very quick post for anyone it may help:

I attempted to update a multiuser Notes client install on Windows XP from 8.5 to 8.5.1. I did it by just running setup.exe from the install kit, as I always do. However, in this case setup did not recognize that the existing install was multiuser and when I went to login as the user it acted like a clean install -- no names.nsf, etc. recognized.

The fix was simple -- uninstall then re-install selecting multiuser/"Anyone who uses this computer".

I don't know if this is a widespread issue but since no data or settings were lost by uninstalling I plan to do that as standard practice for multiuser installs from here on.

Happy Holidays.
