Novell VLM Client Files Not Removed When COMMAND /C Used

 * }

Q138409

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade a computer running Novell's VLM network client to Windows 95, Setup installs the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks to replace the real-mode VLM client files, but may not remove the VLM client files if they are loaded from a batch file other than the Autoexec.bat file.

CAUSE
Setup does not remove the VLM client files if they are loaded from a batch file that is called using the "command /c .bat" method in the Autoexec.bat file. Setup does remove the VLM client files if they are called using the "call .bat" method.

RESOLUTION
You must manually disable (or remark out) the "command /c" command in the Autoexec.bat file.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this issue and will post additional information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
The MS-DOS CALL command was introduced in MS-DOS version 3.3. This command is used to call a batch file from another batch file. The CALL command replaces the older method of calling a batch file with the "command /c" command.

Windows 95 Setup does not recognize the older "command /c" command.
