SUMMARY
Novell NetWare servers can be configured to handle 8.3 file names or greater than 8.3 file names. If the Novell NetWare server can only handle 8.3 file names, the regular Visual Studio installation process will not be able to install to the Novell NetWare server.



MORE INFORMATION

To install from the Visual Studio CDs:


 * Insert Disk 2.
 * Change to the VSS_SS\ folder.
