Novell Client & Windows Vista


Recommended Posts

Hello there,

Anyone successful installing the Novell Client on Windows Vista? I have downloaded the latest client from Novell and when I run the install it tells me that this program will only install on Windows 2000/XP. I have tried searching the net for a workaround but have not found one. Any help will be much appreciated!

Vista is the new version of Windows. Novell hasen't really started developing for it, so don't start hoping you'll get client to work. If you ever find a workaround, what makes you think the program itself will work ? It says that in the setup for a reason.

Vista is the new version of Windows??? Really??!!??? Wow...well no duh....why do you think I am posting here??

You know, this is my first post to the Neowin.net forum and the first reply I get is a condescending blurb.

One would think that Novell would be developing a beta client to work with Vista (or had one out already to work with previous builds of Longhorn) so that they could test it out, keeping in mind that almost all of it's customer base works in a Windows environment. I thought I could get an answer from someone who shares my enthusiasm for Longhorn/Vista and Novell who wishes to test Vista out in a Novell environment. Instead I get a reply from someone who wants to make me feel dumb. Thanks a lot for nothing.

Novell are still working on getting their client to be totally solid for WindowsXP.

I doubt that it would work at all on Vista. Maybe by the time Vista is out, there won't be a Novell. :D

Why wouldn't there be a Novell :rolleyes: Ever heard of SUSE Linux? I doubt that's going to go away in a year or even two.

As for Novell Client, of course they'll get it to work ... duh! Again, why wouldn't they get it to work :rolleyes:
