abstract
491psp5_nwfs_7.zip is a patch file for the Novell Client v4.91 SP4 and SP5 for Windows XP/2003. It includes fixes for problems relating to NWFS.SYS and related modules, found after the 4.91 SP5 client update was released.
details
System Requirements:
This patch is designed to update the Novell Client v4.91 SP5 for Windows XP/2003. This patch is also suitable for the Novell Client v4.91 SP4 for Windows XP/2003. Be sure to install only these versions of the Client.
Installation:
1. (Optional) Rename the existing nwfs.sys, nwdns.sys, and nwslp.sys (with a .old extension, for example) in the \System32\netware folder. Do not reboot before proceeding!
2. Install the files by doing ONE of the following:
a) Run the _491psp5_nwfs_7.bat file.
b) Right-Click on _491psp5_nwfs_7.inf and then click on INSTALL.
c) Manually copy and replace the existing nwfs.sys, nwdns.sys, and nwslp.sys in the directory 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 SP4/SP5 installation set. Such that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell Client, you will be installing the core 4.91 SP4/SP5 client and the updates contained in this package in one operation. To update the installation set with the file(s) in this updated package, copy the directory structure over the top of the matching directory structure found in the Novell Client 4.91 SP4/SP5 installation set.
SETUPIP Users Note: This update package contains a file named "readme.html". Presence of such a file in the Novell Client installation set can cause download via SETUPIP to fail, because many web servers treat files such as readme.html and index.html specially and will change the format of the file listings SETUPIP is trying to obtain from the web server. When overlaying this update package onto a Novell Client installation set that will be used for SETUPIP download, either remove or do not copy the readme.html file when overlaying the files.
