- create this information yourself. When you have finished, click OK.
-
- NOTE: It may be necessary to use your Novell or Windows for Workgroups
- network support diskettes during the installation. Later versions
- of NetWare include a file that Windows for Workgroups will not
- copy for you. If you get an error stating that NWGDI.DLL is
- missing, you must copy the file manually into the SYSTEM
- subdirectory of your WINDOWS directory.
-
- 15. The Windows Setup program may ask if you want to replace the Enhanced
- Mode Protocol Manager or your Novell NetWare files with the version
- you are installing now. Click Yes to All.
