Err Msg: Unable to Locate NWAPI32.DLL with IntranetWare Client

 Last reviewed: November 11, 1997
Article ID: Q161733
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51 and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If the IntranetWare Client for Windows NT manufactured by Novell is installed on a computer running Windows NT Workstation 3.51 or 4.0, it replaces the Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) service. After installation, if Last Known Good Configuration is selected during the startup process, it will fail with the following error message: 

   Services.exe - unable to find or locate NWAPI32.DLL

CAUSE

When the Novell IntranetWare Client for Windows NT is installed, it asks if you want to replace the Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) service. If you select Yes, the IntranetWare client installation process removes CSNW and, in addition to making changes in the registry, deletes the following two files: 

   Nwapi32.dll
   Nwc.cpl
This is by design. Novell’s IntranetWare Client for Windows NT is manufactured by Novell, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

RESOLUTION

If the above two files are reinstalled, the Last Known Good Configuration will function normally.
