GFI FaxMaker 20.8 release notes

Overview

These are the release notes for FaxMaker version 20.8, which is now available for download.

 

Solution

Changes in this version release include:

  • This release includes a key feature: OAuth 2.0 support, essential for those using GFI FaxMaker with O365.

Known issue: web interface error after installing 20.8

After installing or upgrading to 20.8, opening the FaxMaker web interface (for example https://<server>/faxmaker) can show Server Error in '/Faxmaker' Application with this error:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'Utilities' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Cause: a web interface component in the 20.8 build was built for 32-bit only, while the web interface runs as a 64-bit process. This is fixed in FaxMaker 20.9 and later.

Resolution:

  1. Make sure no faxes are queued. Queued faxes are lost during an upgrade.
  2. Back up the configuration as described in Backing up the GFI FaxMaker Configuration.
  3. Download the latest version from the GFI Upgrade Center or the current build link. Do not reuse a 20.8 installer.
  4. Right-click the installer, select Properties, select Unblock on the General tab and click Apply. Then run the installer with an administrator account.
  5. When setup is complete, open IIS Manager (inetmgr), select Application Pools, select GFI FaxMaker App Pool and click Recycle. Then reload the web interface.
Important: Do not turn on Enable 32-Bit Applications on the GFI FaxMaker App Pool. The web interface also loads 64-bit components, so the same error only moves to a different file (for example GFI.Licensing.Decoder).

 

Installation Requirements for GFI FaxMaker 20.8

  • If installing on a client operating system, such as Windows 7, IIS SMTP is not required.
  • If installing on Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 or higher, ExchangeHub Transport Server Role must be present.
