This patch is designed to update the Novell Client v4.90 SP2 for Windows NT/2000/XP. Be sure to install only on this version of the client. == PATCH INSTALLATION == 1. Expand the self-extracting file 49psp2_nwgina_13.exe (this file) to a temporary folder. 2. Open the folder. 3. (recommended, but optional) Rename the existing files (with a .old extension, for example) which will be replaced with this patch kit in the following locations. \System32 nwgina.dll loginw32.dll \System32\nls\english nwginar.dll 4. Right-Click on _49psp2_nwgina_13.inf and then click on INSTALL. 5. You will be prompted to reboot. This reboot is required to complete the installation. Another method to install is to manually copy and replace the existing LOGINW32.DLL, NWGINA.DLL and NWGINAR.DLL in directories listed in Step 3, above. == OVERLAYING THE 4.9 SP2 INSTALLATION SET == The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.9 SP2 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell client you will be installing the core 4.9 SP2 client and the updates contained in this package in one operation. To update the installation set with the file in this patch set, extract this package to a temporary location, then copy the resultant directory structure to over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.9 SP2" installation.
