2.00b
MS-DOS
Problem:
I am updating DOS LAN Manager using the version 2.00b update disks
sent to me. The update went smoothly and my server is running, but
when I create and use the UPDATE share, I cannot seem to get my DOS
workstation to update to version 2.00b. The following error message is
returned:
You must be running OS/2 to update to Lan Manager OS/2
Response:
The problem described above generally occurs when updating from DOS
LAN Manager version 2.00 to 2.00b. Although this problem can occur
when updating from version 2.00a to 2.00b, no reports of this
happening have been recorded.
The only way to update a DOS workstation from the update disks is to
update over the network with the UPDATE share created by the
SHAREUPD.EXE program on the server.
UPDATE will look for the following files to determine which version of
DOS LAN Manager is running:
DOS ENHANCED: \lanman.dos\netwksta\netwksta.320
DOS BASIC : \lanman.dos\redir\redir.320
OS/2 SERVER : \lanman\services\netsvini.exe
If UPDATE doesn't find any of the above files, it will assume you are
running OS/2 LAN Manager.
If UPDATE finds NETAPI.DLL on the workstation, it will assume you are
running Windows and will return the following error message:
Cannot update while Lan Manager is running under windows.
Exit windows and restart UPDATE.EXE.
You can work around this problem by copying the appropriate files over
to the workstation and running UPDATE again.
