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.
