Have the SP exploded in one of the netware volumes on that server and navigate to that directory, whala. It will begin installing....

Yes that part i tried but dont get any further when extrating the exe. After....Verifying ARJ-SECURITY envelope... it just hangs forever

 

[jpl6]

type Y and then make sure you press ENTER

 

[stevenriz]

give it more time because it DOES take forever. It's a huge file....

One comment about exploding the file:
If you just double-click on the nw6sp3.exe file to explode it, it will often not work right.

The best way to do this is to open a command prompt & then invoke the .exe

Bill, true. This I believe is something in Windows and it might even be correctable but nevertheless, I always use a command prompt when exploding files for that reason....

You might want to make sure your path is not too long. I have found that the closer to the root drive you explode the file, the faster it works. Don't ask me why??

It's true. I always put the file in the root & explode it, then clean up root later
