Attempt to update client fails

[John Forster]

When I try to unzip the nc483sp2 file, the etration says that it is verifing
the arj security envelop but the the windo closes with no extraction. What
am I missing? This all happened after my video card decided that it no
longer like it's drivers and screwed up my registry. Reloaded XP and then
all the up dates but when I go to the login screen the first time to login
in it says that one of my network files failed to load. If I check
workstation only, login to Xp then use the netware login everything seems to
work ok.

Running XP with 4.83 sp1 client and Netware 6 on the server

Thanks
John

John,

Novell compresses its packages using ARJ. They self-extract in a
command-prompt window and I've found as long as the path (network or local)
has no spaces in it the files will uncompress correctly. Otherwise as you
pointed out the command-prompt along with ARJ will display an error and the
window will close to quickly to read making it appear to complete
sucessfully.
