SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade a computer running Windows NT Server 3.51 Service Pack 5, to Windows NT Server 4.0 and then try to update File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW), the update process appears to be successful, but the files may not actually be updated. The FPNW Service does not advertise itself with SAP broadcasts and you may not be able to connect to the server through FPNW.

When you attempt to manage the FPNW server through Server Manager, you may see the following error:

Procedure entry point not found SPIN_SLE_NUM@@QAE@PAVOWNER_WINDOW@@IKKH@Z in Netui2.dll.

When you click OK, another error is displayed:

Cannot load extrension FPNWMGR.CPL. Error 0126. Specific procedure could not be found.

-or-

Cannot load extrension FPNWMGR.CPL. Error 0127. Specific procedure could not be found.

You may receive similar errors when you click the FPNW icon in Control Panel, if it is available.

NOTE: You may also have similar problems updating an FPNW Administrative Tools Only installation.



CAUSE
The FPNW files that are installed by Windows NT Server 3.51 Service Pack 5 do not get properly updated due to an error in the Oemsetup.inf file for File and Print Services for NetWare version 4.0.



RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, you will need to copy FPNW from the Services for NetWare CD to a directory on your hard disk drive or local area network.

WARNING: Editing Oemsetup.inf incorrectly can cause serious, system wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from editing Oemsetup.inf can be solved. Do this at your own risk.  Copy the FPNW files from the CD to a directory that you have full access to. Open the file OEMSETUP.INF in a text editor such as Notepad or Edit.  In the section [Install-Update], locate the following line:

  set STF_OVERWRITE    = "VERIFYSOURCEOLDER"  Change "VERIFYSOURCEOLDER" to "ALWAYS", save the file.  Perform this same change in the following sections:

  [Install-Exe] [Install-Tools] </li></ol>

After this procedure is complete, you can update FPNW from the new location. You will need to restart the server for the change to take effect.
