Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

Running the NetWare Client Installation Program

For example, if your NetWare Client directory is NWCLIENT, the modification appears as follows:

@CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET.BAT

PATH=C:\NWCLIENT;%PATH%

Changes Made to Your CONFIG.SYS File

Two line are added to your client workstation’s CONFIG.SYS file to set the LASTDRIVE and FILES setting. The modification appears as follows:

FILES = 40

LASTDRIVE = Z

The FILES command is added only if the FILES setting is lower that 40 or does not previously exist.

Installing Support for MS Windows

The installation program copies the necessary files for running Microsoft (MS) Windows on your client workstation. The default path is set to C:\WINDOWS unless the WIN.COM file is found in the DOS PATH. If the WIN.COM file is not found in the PATH, then the default setting is no MS Windows support.

Accept the default path unless you are running one of the following:

MS Windows from a different local directory

See “Modifying MS Windows Configuration Files on a Local Directory” for more information.

MS Windows from a shared network directory

This option is available to network supervisors only.

See “Modifying MS Windows Configuration Files on a Network Directory” for more information.

See “Setting Up an MS Windows Shared Network Directory for NETX and VLM Client Workstations” for more information.

MS Windows from a network directory

This option is for updating users’ personal areas.
