BrightStor ArcServe 9, SBS6 installation problem

[jlmi...@mmtnetworks.com.au]

I'm having a hell of time trying to install AS9 on SBS6 from a W2K
workstation with NWCv4.9. I have in the host file the ip address of the
server per their instruction and the SBS6 server is patched to SP3. The
problem starts as soon I click on Select Install BrightStor ARCserve
Backup for NetWare 9.0 Server and options.
After this I get an error stating to view the NI.LOG, I'll include some
of the info:

I had a similar problem when installing Brightstor AS 9. I reported the
problem to CA.
I got the advise to rename the NI folder on the workstation, so C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Novell\NI has to be renamed.
And also the IP.DB file on the server. So in SYS:Ni\Update\Data

And guess what? I did resolve the problem
