abstract

491psp3_nwgina_4.exe is a patch file for the Novell Client v4.91 SP3 for Windows XP/2003. It includes fixes for problems relating to NWGINA.DLL and related modules, found after the 4.91 SP3 client update was released.

details

System Requirements:
This patch is designed to update the Novell Client v4.91 SP3 for Windows XP/2003. Be sure to install only on this version of the client. You should have already installed the 491psp3_pka.zip patch kit before installing this patch.

Installation:
1. (Optional) Rename the existing nwgina.dll and novnpnt.dll in the \System32 folder, and the exisiting nwginar.dll in the \System32\nls\english folder (with a .old extension, for example). Do not reboot before proceeding!
2. Install the files by doing ONE of the following:
a) Run the supplied .bat file.
b) Right-Click on the supplied .inf and click on INSTALL.
c) Manually copy and replace the existing nwgina.dll, nwginar.dll, and novnpnt.dll in directories listed in Step 1, above.
3. You will be prompted to reboot. This reboot is required to complete the installation.

The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.91 SP3 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell client you will be installing the core 4.91 SP3 client and the updates contained in this package in one operation. To update the installation set with the file in this patch set, copy the directory structure over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.91 SP3" installation.

Known Problems and Limitations:
The language-specific module (nwginar.dll) will return certain message strings in English.
