Make FP installers HF aware or otherwise better instructions on upgrading

It is not intuitive that you can't upgrade Domino 14.0 FP3 HF8 directly to 14.0 FP4.
I have a novice admin who wasted a lot of time before he asked me.
The installer for HF8 must first be run to revert the HF before you can run the installer for FP4. Consider making FP installers more HF-aware, a bit more human-friendly or otherwise give better instructions when the FP4 installer fails because an HF is installed.

      OK the message could be a bit more clear. But this should be unterstandable.
      Just tested:

      This Incremental Installer can only be used with a properly installed

      Domino installation.

      Not valid Domino version was detected:

      140FP3HF34


      Domino 14.5 AutoUpdate knows about all the dependencies and is able to uninstall IFs before updating to another Fixpack. But yes this text could be a bit more clear.

      I wrote an article about it a while ago and support created a technote.
