- Installing NetWare Workstation for Windows
-
- The NetWare Workstation for Windows diskette contains files to
- update your NetWare device driver files, load NetWare Tools, and
- update your NetWare C Interface for Windows files (.DLL files).
-
- The NetWare Workstation for Windows includes NetWare Tools
- which let you perform certain network tasks. You can
-
- * Map network drives
- * Select network printers
- * Attach to or detach from file servers
- * List network users
- * View volume information
- * Set or change passwords
- * Send messages to network users and groups
- * Block or allow messages from other users
- * Customize your mappings and printer information for specific tasks
-
- You can also use the Network icon and the Printer icon in the
- Control Panel to complete some network tasks.
-
- Windows must already be installed on your file server before you install the
- NetWare Tools and drivers on your workstation.
-
- Using the INSTALL program
-
- The NetWare Workstation for Windows diskette contains an INSTALL
- program that loads the NetWare drivers, NetWare Tools, and .DLL
- files. INSTALL copies these files to the \WINDOWS and \SYSTEM
- subdirectories in your Windows directory (whether it is on the
- network or on your workstation). It also updates your SYSTEM.INI
- and WIN.INI files.
-
- For specific information about the files that will be updated and
- changes that will be made to your SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files,
- select the Help menu in INSTALL and choose "Using NetWare with
- Windows."
-
- Consider the following items when installing and configuring the
- NetWare operating system with Windows.
-
- Workstation shell files
-
- Windows requires that you use workstation shell files (NETx.COM,
- XMSNETx.COM, or EMSNETx.COM, and IPX.COM) version 3.01 or
- later. If your shell files are an earlier version you will get an error
- message when installing Windows.
-
- Upgrading utilities
-
- If you use the NetWare BINDFIX utility, you must update it to v1.2.
- (v1.2 is included on the NetWare Workstation for Windows diskette).
-
- Other NetWare utilities may need to be updated to function
- properly with Windows. See Appendix A for a list of these utilities.
-
- Show dots = on
-
- You should add the following line to your NET.CFG or SHELL.CFG
- file:
-
- SHOW DOTS = ON
-
- This allows you to see the parent directory [..] when you list
- subdirectories. If you do not use SHOW DOTS = ON, your directory
- listings will not show the parent directory, and you will not be able
- to return to the parent directory after you change to a subdirectory.
-
- Before running INSTALL
-
- The first time INSTALL is run, it updates NetWare drivers and other
- files in the Windows \SYSTEM directory. If you are using a shared
- network version of Windows, the system administrator should run
- INSTALL first to update the NetWare drivers and other files. When
- INSTALL is run subsequent times, it will update only the users' .INI
- files.
-
- Before you begin INSTALL, you must
-
- * Exit Windows completely. Do not run INSTALL from the DOS
- prompt within Windows.
- * Be in the directory that contains Windows (or set a path to your
- Windows directory). INSTALL will start Windows.
- * Have Read, Write, and Modify rights in the directory where you
- will run INSTALL and in the \WINDOWS directory. (This does
- not apply if your directories are local directories.)
-
- Only one user at a time can use INSTALL. INSTALL uses a temporary
- file that only one user at a time can access. If you receive File
- Sharing Errors in Windows or network errors from DOS, you are
- trying to run INSTALL at the same time as someone else. Run
- INSTALL from a diskette or a directory in your personal network
- workspace, or wait until the other user exits INSTALL.
-
- If you are installing Novell NetWare Workstation for Windows to a
- shared network configuration, all network users must exit
- Windows. Since INSTALL updates the NetWare drivers that are in
- the Windows directories, no one can be using these drivers.
-
-
- Running INSTALL
-
- 1. At the DOS prompt, type
-
- pathname/INSTALL <Enter>
-
- Replace pathname with the full directory path leading to the directory where
- NetWare INSTALL is located.
-
- For example, if you are running INSTALL from a diskette in drive A, type
-
- A:\INSTALL <Enter>
-
- If you are running INSTALL from a network directory, you must include the drive
- letter. For example, type
-
- G:\WININST\INSTALL <Enter>
-
- (You can use Windows startup flags, such as /R, with INSTALL.)
-
- The INSTALL program will load the NetWare Tools files and update other files
- needed to run Windows with NetWare. For help while using INSTALL, choose
- the Help menu.
-
- You will see the NetWare Windows Workstation Services - INSTALL screen.
-
- The screen consists of three parts.
-
- System Defaults. Shows the defaults used by your system. It shows
-
- * The type of installation you are performing: a shared network
- installation or a local installation
- * The directory you are running INSTALL from
- * The directory you are installing to
-
- Instructions. Lists the steps you need to do to complete the installation.
- Follow the steps in the order listed.
-
- Action. Explains what tasks INSTALL completes. It also informs you if an error
- occurs, and gives you steps to correct the error.
-
- 2. Choose README to read important installation information.
-
- 3. Choose OK to begin the installation.
-
- After the drivers and files have been loaded, the installation is complete.

- Tools window appears. This window displays icons for the NetWare
- tasks you can complete in Windows. You can also create a Program
- Manager group that contains the NetWare Tools icons.
