Ah ha! So for some reason my Lotus Notes AllClient is registering as a basic configuration install! This might be something residual from when I loaded the full AllClient basic configuration on 8.0.2 but that was years ago. So I installed 8.0.2 Allclient basic on a test machine, saved the notes.ini, uninstalled, installed 8.0.2 Allclient Standard and saved the notes.ini. Using ultraedit, I compared the two files and the only significant difference between the two notes.ini's was a parameter called "InstallMode". After some Google searching around I found the ini parameter but no description. The Allclient standard install set InstallMode=1. The Allclient basic set InstallMode=0.
On my secondary desktop I could not find the InstallMode parameter in my notes.ini. So I added InstallMode=1. Once I added InstallMode=1, smartupgrade found the upgrade kit with no issues.
