Eicon Drivers not Copied when Updating to SNA 3.0 SP1 (171251)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1, when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q171251 SYMPTOMS
The Eicon SDLC or X.25 link services will not start after upgrading an SNA
Server 3.0 configuration to SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1. This problem
will not occur when running SETUP.EXE from SNA Server 3.0 Refresh CD that
incorporates Service Pack 1.
CAUSE
This is due to a bad statement in the UPDATE.INI file from SNA Server 3.0
Service Pack 1. Running UPDATE.EXE resulted in the current EC<SDLC/X25>.DLL
being renamed to EC<SDLC/X25>.DL$, and the updated EC<SDLC/X25>.DLL being
copied only in <SnaRoot>\system\hwsetup\ec<sdlc/x25> while it should also
be copied in the <SnaRoot>\system directory.
RESOLUTION
Once the upgrade process is complete, the user needs to manually copy the
EC<SDLC/X25>.DLL file from the <SNA>\system\hwsetup\ec<sdlc/x25> directory
to <SnaRoot>\system.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0
Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
