The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install the Gateway Service for Netware (GSNW) or the Client Service for Netware (CSNW) in Windows NT version 3.5, the following error message appears, even though the protocol is installed:

   Please install the NWLINK IPX/SPX Compatible Transport before
   you install the Client/Gateway Services for Netware

CAUSE

This problem occurs if an OEMNSVx.INF file (where x is a number) exists in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 subdirectory. This file was used for the installation of GSNW and CSNW in Windows NT version 3.1.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, remove all occurrences of OEMNSVx.INF and install GSNW or CSNW again.
