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.
When you start Windows, the NetWare Tools icon will appear at the
bottom of the screen. When you choose this icon, the NetWare
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.
If you do not want the Novell NetWare icon to appear on the
desktop, go to "Remove automatic loading" following.
