NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT TITLE: Novell Client Post-4.91 SP2 Patch Kit "B" TID #: 2973629 README FOR: 491psp2_pkb.exe SUPERSEDES: 491psp2_pka.exe NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS: Novell Client v4.91 for Windows 2000/XP ABSTRACT: 491psp2_pkb.exe is a collection of patches for Novell Client 4.91 SP2. These files are NOT a support pack, but are fixes to problems found after the 4.91 SP2 client was released. This patch kit includes a previously released version of NWFS.SYS, because the NWFS.SYS in 491psp2_pka.exe has been shown to have a problem with opportunistic locking (oplock). The problem has been reported with Microsoft Access 2003, but may also affect other applications. Novell is investigating this issue.

Expand the self-extracting file 491psp2_pkb.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 CALWIN32.DLL LGNWNT32.DLL LOGINW32.DLL NOVNPNT.DLL NWGINA.DLL NWSHLXNT.DLL \System32\NetWare NWDNS.SYS NWFS.SYS SRVLOC.SYS Do not reboot before proceeding! 4. Right-Click on _491psp2_pkb.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 files in directories listed in Step 3, above. == OVERLAYING THE 4.91 SP2 INSTALLATION SET == The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.91 SP2 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell client you will be installing the core 4.91 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 over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.91 SP2" installation.
