The updates to the 8.1.6 installer have improved the deployment of the RSI software for us, and now we need to make only 1 post-install update whereas before it required 4 changes. The 1 post-install change we have to make is updating the SMC_EX600-SECx_VRSI.xml file as the install comes with the original version we got from RSI and not the updated version. Can you put the updated version into the 8.1.7 install?
Release 8.1.8 should have the changes you need.
