Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software
Running the NetWare Client Installation Program
Running the NetWare Client Installation Program
DOS and MS Windows client workstations share the same installation program. To provide for this, the installation program runs within the DOS environment.
Prerequisites
Review the following checklist to make sure you are prepared to install NetWare Client software.
•Close MS Windows before loading the installation program.
•The client installation program modifies some MS Windows files that are used when in MS Windows. Do not install from an MS Windows DOS Box.
•If you are installing from a network directory, make sure you have a drive mapped to SYS:PUBLIC.
•See “Mapping a Network Drive for Installation” for details.
•If you are installing from diskettes, make sure you have working copies of the NetWare Client install disks.
•(Conditional) If you want the installation program to display in a language other than English (the default), set a DOS environment variable for NWLANGUAGE=preferred_language.
•Replace preferred_language with one of the following languages:
•DEUTSCH
•ESPANOL
•FRANCAIS
•ITALIANO
For example, to specify Spanish as your preferred language, you would set
NWLANGUAGE=ESPANOL.
