Installing WINUP9.EXE Files During WFWG 3.11 Installation

ID: Q112293

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

If you provide Novell NetWare 4.x client software earlier than WINUP9.EXE when you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11, the correct .DLL files may not be copied.

CAUSE

The Windows for Workgroups 3.11 NetWare 4 installation code was written with the assumption that the current NetWare 4.x client files are provided in WINUP8.EXE. WINUP9.EXE contains a different list of files and includes a new .DLL.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, install the WINUP9.EXE files, and then install Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. (Be sure to select NetWare version 4 support.)

MORE INFORMATION

The correct .DLL files are copied over if you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11 under the following scenarios:

You are using WINUP8.EXE files.

You were running WINUP9.EXE with Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and then upgraded to Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

You were using WINUP8.EXE files, upgraded to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and then installed the WINUP9.EXE files manually.

You were running DOSUP8.EXE files, upgraded to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and provided the WINUP8.EXE files as requested by Windows for Workgroups Setup.
