Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

Running the NetWare Client Installation Program

DOS and MS Windows client workstations share the same installation

program. To provide for this, the installation program runs within the DOS

environment.

Prerequisites

Review the following checklist to make sure you are prepared to install

NetWare Client software.

• Close MS Windows before loading the installation program.

• The client installation program modifies some MS Windows files that are used

when in MS Windows. Do not install from an MS Windows DOS Box.

• If you are installing from a network directory, make sure you have a drive

mapped to SYS:PUBLIC.

• See “Mapping a Network Drive for Installation” for details.

• If you are installing from diskettes, make sure you have working copies of the

NetWare Client install disks.

• (Conditional) If you want the installation program to display in a language other

than English (the default), set a DOS environment variable for

NWLANGUAGE=preferred_language.

• Replace preferred_language with one of the following languages:

• DEUTSCH

• ESPANOL

• FRANCAIS

• ITALIANO

For example, to specify Spanish as your preferred language, you would set

NWLANGUAGE=ESPANOL.

Loading the Installation Program

For brief instructions, see the Quick Reference Cards for DOS and MS

Windows and the screen instructions to complete the installation.
