Be sure to install only on this version of the client. == PATCH INSTALLATION == 1. Expand the self-extracting file 491_PKA.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\netware nwfilter.sys nwfs.sys srvloc.sys \System32 lgncxw32.dll loginw32.dll novnpnt.dll nwgina.dll Do not reboot before proceeding! 4. Right-Click on _491_PKA.INF and then click on INSTALL. 5. You will be prompted to reboot. A reboot is required to complete the installation. Another method to install is to manually copy and replace the existing files in the directories listed in Step 3, above. After copying the files, reboot the workstation to complete the installation. == OVERLAYING THE 4.91 INSTALLATION SET == The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.91 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell client you will be installing the core 4.91 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 over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.91" installation.
