    <See also note 988>
    
    Can anyone tell me the correct method of obtaining and installing the
    network SSB kit for HUBwatch for Windows ?
    
    I originally found the pointer to the kits at : 
    
    NAC::LENAC_USER:[NETWORKS.MANAGE.WINDOWS.WINDOWS2]
    
    So I made up two floppies with the following file structure :
    
    Disk 1 :-
    
    A:\
    |
    |____DISK1
             |_DISK.ID
             |_HUBW20.INF
             |_HUBWV20.001
             |_INSTALL.EXE
             |_LOGO.BMP
             |_READ_ME.TXT
    
    
    Disk 2 :-
    
    A:\
    |
    |
    _____DISK2
             |_HUBWV20.002
             |_DISK.ID
             
    With the above arrangement, during the installation when the prompt for 
    disk 2 came, I inserted the 2nd disk and clicked OK, but the installation 
    just kept reprompting for the 2nd disk.  So I tried moving the two files on
    disk 2 into the top level directory on that diskette - this got me
    further .... but not much !!  The following error was reported :
     
    FATAL ERROR AT SCRIPT LINE 301
    
    Cannot open MediaBuilder library file
    
    and the installation bombed out !
    
    All the above happened at a customer site when I was trying to arrange
    a demo, with the result that the demo had to be abandoned.
    
    Back at the office, I looked through this notesfile and spotted note
    988 - tried the advice there to copy all the files to the hard disk
    and it all went ok.
    
    I have two questions therefore :
    
    1) Was this kit ever meant to be installed direct from a two floppy disk 
       setup, or was the intention always that the installer would first 
       need to copy the files to the hard disk ?
    
    2) Also, I notice now that the files in
    
       NAC::LENAC_USER:[NETWORKS.MANAGE.WINDOWS.WINDOWS2]
      
       are different to those I had - namely :
    
       HUBWT201.001 instead of HUBWV20.001
       &
       HUBWT201.002 instead of HUBWV20.002
    
       Is this new kit still an SSB kit or field test ?

    You should not make any directory structure on both floopies.  Just
    copy entire directory into your floopy.
    
    copy NAC::LENAC_USER:[NETWORKS.MANAGE.WINDOWS.WINDOWS2.DISK1] a:\*.*
    for disk1
    
    copy NAC::LENAC_USER:[NETWORKS.MANAGE.WINDOWS.WINDOWS2.DISK2] a:\*.*
    for disk2
    
    HUBWT201.001 and HUBWT201.002 is the maintenence release after we
    shipped V2.0.  This supports the Novell ODI.
