RE: VARPG install problem related to IPF32.DLL

Hi Claus,

I have this problem on some of our NT boxes. The path variables in the
environment are set but to no avail.
In an NT command prompt window when entering PATH command the ADTS
directories etc. do not appear.
The only way we got around it was by moving the IPF32.dll to the WINDOWS NT
systems directory.
Then we got a bunch of message about help files not been found............
Like I said the ADTS path variables are set in the environment but to no
avail????
Looks like a problem with the VRPG install routines and NT registry??
Are there any specific requirements about NT security levels etc, (though,
we did install under the network, (not machine) administrator).
Also some installs on our site are messing up the IPX protocol, ie.e our
Unix servers disappear. After re-installing the IPX protocol all is OK, (on
the network end).
Looks like a good argument for Linux, (ha, ha) !!!!! 


Regards,
Stephen
