Known Issues

The following is a list of known issues outstanding in this release.

Installation
  • On Windows 2008 Server and Windows 2012 Server, install the Rumba pre-requisites manually. After installing .NET Framework, restart the machine before installing Rumba. If the machine is not restarted before running Rumba, a problem might occur with Rumba's default fonts.
  • Do not install different Rumba installation packages on the same machine. For example, Rumba_Office.exe and Rumba_Mainframe.exe. Doing so can cause unexpected behavior.
Windows 10
When installing Rumba on Windows 10, some shortcuts may not appear in Start > All apps. To ensure the shortcuts appear, sign out of Windows, then sign in again.
Installation of .NET Framework is not supported on the following versions of Windows:
  • Version 1507
  • Version 1511 (November 2015 update)
Terminal Services
  • Installing or uninstalling Rumba 9.5 SP1 on a Terminal Server must take place from the console and not from a terminal client.
  • Terminal Services should be switched off when installing Rumba on Windows 2003 with Windows Terminal Services (WTS) and using a value other than the default for the PrivateDir environment variable. This is due to a WTS limitation in Windows 2003. If Terminal Services is not turned off, PrivateDir does not get interpreted and the registry entry is invalid. As a workaround, you can set the PrivateDir registry key manually. However, after installation, you should verify that the value in the registry key is correct.
Performance

To avoid poor context menu performance, we recommend that you:

  1. Open Windows Control Panel.
  2. Choose System > Advanced system settings.
  3. Choose Settings in the Performance frame, then uncheck Fade or slide menus into view.
UNIX macros
Copy and paste operations are not recorded correctly in UNIX macros and generate an error when a macro is played.
VBA Add-On
When planning to install the VBA Add-On on a clean machine, it is highly recommended that you:
  1. Install Rumba 9.5
  2. Install Rumba 9.5 SP1.
  3. Start Rumba at least once.

Then install the VBA Add-On.
