The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
SUMMARY
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 differs from previous
versions of Windows (including Windows for Workgroups 3.1) with respect to
the requirements for, and the limitations of, network server-based shared
installations (that is, SETUP /A and SETUP /N installations).
This article is intended to provide system administrators with some
guidelines for performing such installations.
MORE INFORMATION
When you set up a server-based shared installation of Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, be aware of the following:
- In the Microsoft LAN Manager and Windows NT environment (or any
network requiring the installation of the real-mode Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 redirector prior to accessing the server with the
shared, SETUP /A, directory), Windows for Workgroups 3.11 nodes have
client functionality only.
NOTE: Because Novell NetWare requires its own real-mode redirector
(giving the node access to the shared directory before loading Windows
for Workgroups and its peer-to-peer network components), this
limitation may not exist in integrated Windows for Workgroups
3.11/NetWare environments.
- When running SETUP /N to a workstation from a Novell server, the
Windows for Workgroups Setup program requires that Novell's Windows
support files exist in the shared directory on the server (that is,
the directory created with SETUP /A). The following files need to be
copied to the shared Windows directory prior to running SETUP /N:
NETWARE.DRV
NETWARE.HLP
NWPOPUP.EXE
VNETWARE.386
VIPX.386
NOTE: Other third-party networks may present the same restrictions;
refer to your network product documentation or vendor for more
information.
Novell NetWare is manufactured by Novell, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this
product's performance or reliability.
