CLASSIFICATION: NetWare Client for DOS/MS Windows 1.2 NetWare
Client for DOS/MS Windows 1.2 CATEGORY: Installation

ABSTRACT:
The 1.20 client install does not allow you to input the path to your
personal Windows directory if that path is on a network server - and the
w/s was booted with NETX.

SYMPTOM
Workstation is booted to NETX - and the Client install v1.21 is run to
upgrade the client to the 1.20 VLMs.  The client is running a shared copy
of Windows with the personal directory located on the NetWare server.
When you enter the path (ie. f:\users\bander\windows) to the personal
Windows directory when prompted (Enter MS Windows directory) the error
of "An invalid drive was given in path" is returned.  If you input a
path that is on the w/s local hard drive (ie c:\windows) install accepts
the path and installs the files.

SOLUTION
This is a problem with the 1.21 Install that ships with NetWare 4.10 and
the 1.20 client kit.  The problem will be corrected in the next release of
the Client Kit. The current workaround is to create a boot diskette and boot
the w/s to the VLMs - then run install - when the w/s is booted to the
VLMs - Install accepts the network path to the personal Windows directory
when the w/s is booted to the VLMs. Or run the NetWare client install
once - saying no to install Windows support.  This will install the VLMs,
then reboot the machine and run Install for a second time - this saying
yes to install Windows support.
