TITLE: Installing ACCPAC on NWL Network DOCUMENT ID: TID1200437 DOCUMENT REVISION: 3 DATE: 27MAR95 ALERT STATUS: Yellow README FOR: NA NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION: NETWARE LITE V1.1 ABSTRACT: NA --------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO NOVELL. NOVELL MAKES EVERY EFFORT WITHIN ITS MEAN TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION. HOWEVER, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY. NOVELL MAKES NO EXPLICIT OR IMPLIED CLAIMS TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS INFORMATION. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE: INSTALLING ACCPAC GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Follow the installation instructions for NetWare Lite v1.1 carefully. Download document 1200387 from Novell's FaxBack Service or TID1200387 from the NSE Pro or Compuserve for help with installing and setting up a network. 2. The installation procedures will create a \NWLITE directory on your C:\ drive. You need to edit a file called STARTNET.BAT that is located in this directory. 3. Look for the line in STARTNET.BAT that loads the program called SHARE. If you are using MSDOS, change that line to the following: C:\DOS\SHARE /L:250 /F:10000 If you are using DR DOS, change the line to the following, instead: C:\DRDOS\SHARE /L:250 4. The "FILES=" parameter in your CONFIG.SYS should be set as follows on both the workstations and the server: FILES=250 5. Obtain the patches that Novell has released for NetWare Lite v1.1. Please get document 13869 from Novell's FaxBack Service or TID013869 from the NSE Pro or Compuserve for more information. INSTALLING WINDOWING SYSTEM MANAGER AND LANPAK (Much of the following information was obtained from Computer Associates Limited. A similar document is found on their fax system.) 1. Insert WSM DISK 1 in drive A: and type A:INSTALL from the root directory to which you are installing. Answer "yes" to indicate that you are installing on a network. You will be prompted for additional disks. 2. Upon completion of the WSM install, you will be taken to the "Install Programs" portion of WSM, at which point you should insert the LANPak disk and continue. 3. When the system prompts you if you are installing on Novell NetWare, answer NO. This is not Novell NetWare. NetWare Lite is a peer-to-peer network that means that it is DOS-based--quite different from NetWare 2.x and 3.x. 4. Choose "PC-Lan," or if you wish, choose "other," and type NETWARE LITE. The preceding is the most critical step. If you have already installed the LANPak as Novell, you are probably suffering a great deal of "Unable to obtain access to...." messages. Just reinstall the LANPak as above. 5. Continue with the application installation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
