complete in ConsoleOne by checking the
Database Version

Post Office object. If the update seems complete but the
Database Version
field has not updated to
8.0
, restart the POA.
5.1.5 Additional Installation Issues
Platform-specific installation issues are listed in separate sections below. Installation issues for
individual GroupWise components are located under the heading for each component.

5.2.1 NetWare Agent Installation from Windows Vista or Windows 7
During Support Pack installation on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine, when you specify the
path to your existing software distribution directory on a NetWare server, you might receive the
following error message:
Path:
drive
:\grpwise\software - Please specify a valid network path.
This message can occur even when you see that the drive is correctly mapped and correctly
specified. Use a UNC path instead, for example:
\\
NetWare_server
\
volume
\grpwise\software
If the UNC path also fails, use one of the following workarounds:
Install the latest Novell Client for Vista from
Novell Downloads (http://download.novell.com)
.
Perform the installation from a Windows XP machine.
5.2.2 Windows Agent Installation Issue
Before you update existing GroupWise agent software, make sure that the GroupWise agents have
been stopped on the Windows server. If the GroupWise agents are running during the installation
process, the agent software is not updated, but the GroupWise Installation program does not notify
you that it was unable to update the agent software.
5.2.3 New Default Installation Paths on Windows
On Windows workstations and servers, the default GroupWise 8 software locations are consolidated
under
c:\Program Files\Novell
into the following subdirectories:
GroupWise
Component
Previous Default Location
Current Default Location
Client
c:\novell\groupwise c:\Program Files\Novell\GroupWise
