Netware 5.1 service pack installation?

[ekke85]

Hi
I have a Netware 5.1 server still with service pack 1. I want to install the new service pack 7. I downloaded the nw51sp7.exe file and placed it on the sys drive as admin. When I run the file it takes a little while to check the security envelope and then it just close. Can anyone tell me how do I extract these file to install the service pack?

The download may have been corrupted. I usually get this when downloading via the proxy server/firewall configuration at my work so I have to download via my broadband connection at home.

It may be worth trying the download again.

Try going to a dos prompt and running it from there. Then you can at least see what the error is when it aborts.

Thanks.
I renamed the file when I downloaded it for some stupid reason and that is why it did not work. Sorry if I wasted your time with this, but it goes to show that I am a CERTIFIED IDIOT!
