 ENTERA DEVELOPER SUPPORT
Problems fixed by Entera 3.2 Service Pack
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you download the Service Pack for Windows NT you also need the broker.exe process. The broker.exe which ships with the Service Pack is broken and will need to be replaced after the install by either your old (pre-Service Pack) broker.exe or the broker.exe which is listed as available for download.
The release notes for the previous Entera versions listed a number of known problems, many of which have since been fixed. The following list gives a short description of each of the fixed problems and the defect number attached to it (in parenthesis). This list also includes several problems that were discovered and fixed after the general release of Entera 3.2.
