SYMPTOM:

Some Personal NetWare customers have experienced difficulty with installing the
NetWare Client for MS Windows update files contained in WINDR3.EXE and
NWDLL2.EXE.  They have asked Novell for an automated installation routine.

SOLUTION: 

Novell has created PNWUPW.EXE which contains files from both WINDR3.EXE and
NWDLL2.EXE.  It also has a batch file, UPDATEW.BAT which will copy the relevant
update files for the NetWare Client for MS Windows to the local machines hard
drive.

 If PNWUPW.EXE is used, then WINDR3.EXE and NWDLL2.EXE DO NOT have to be
downloaded.

Installation Instructions:

1. Create unique directory for the update file on the server's hard drive,
i.e.:

 MD C:\PNW_UP

 2. Download or Copy PNWUPW.EXE to the unique directory, i.e.:

 COPY PNWUPW.EXE C:\PNW_UP

 3. Go in to the unique directory, i.e.:

 CD\PNW_UP

 4. Run PNWUPW.EXE to extract it's files, i.e.: enter PNWUPW

 5. Run UPDATEW, i.e.: enter UPDATEW

       USAGE: UPDATEW (MS Windows destination path, INFO, or HELP)

 If MS Windows was installed to the default directory of C:\WINDOWS, then enter
UPDATEW with no additional parameters. 

 If MS Windows was NOT installed to the default directory, then enter UPDATEW
followed by the directory path to the MS Windows software.

 EXAMPLE:

 If MS Windows was installed to D:\WIN, then enter: UPDATEW D:\WIN. 

 Other valid UPDATEW options:  HELP and INFO

 HELP shows syntax and usage.
 INFO displays additional information.

 All nodes on the network need to be updated.  This can most effectively be
accomplished by having all users map to the server's hard drive and use the
same UPDATEW batch file.

 After the NetWare Client for MS Windows files have been updated, exit and then
restart MS Windows so the new files will be loaded.
