The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY
The following Novell NetWare 286 rights are required to run the Microsoft Windows SETUP /N command from a shared server directory to a network user directory:

In the shared directory, the user running SETUP /N must have Search (S), Open (O), and Read (R) rights.

In the user directory, the user running SETUP /N must have Create (C), Delete (D), Read (R), Write (W), Open (O), Modify (M), and Search (S) rights. (That is, the user must have all rights except Parental [P].) NetWare 386 uses slightly different privilege naming, but this can be used as a guideline. This information applies to Microsoft Windows versions 3.0 and 3.0a.

MORE INFORMATION
The following is a discussion of the symptoms of not having the various rights (privileges) to the directories when running SETUP /N.

Using the SETUP /N or SETUP command on a local hard drive has been reported to also fail in systems with some ARCNET boards configured for IRQ2. In test configurations, changing the interrupt from IRQ2 to IRQ3 corrected the problems. Novell also confirmed that changing the interrupt on certain cards corrects several problems with different (usually older) ARCNET boards. In the test, there was nothing to indicate that there should have been any sort of interrupt conflict.

The following error message may occur when running SETUP /N on systems with some ARCNET cards:

File copy error: Unknown File Copy Failure

To correct this, use SETUP /I /N. Be sure to use the switches in this order, otherwise the /I switch will be ignored. Also confirm the following are true:


 * 1) The Novell Shell version 3.01 is being used.
 * 2) All the Windows 3.0 or 3.0a files have been expanded to the network.
 * 3) All rights for the target directory (except for Parental) are present.
 * 4) All expanded .SY$ files have been renamed.
