For v7.1 CA you only need the C++ distributable installed the CA installer
will handle the Windows Installer update for you. (i've only done about
250 in the last month LOL). But it IS faster if you download the
Installer update from M$ and install along with the C++
distributable...saves you a reboot.

Thanks,

Here's the part that concerns me:
<snip>
I started this upgrade from 5.3 to 6.1 client as a way to get mapping a
drive to a share to work .
</snip>

IBM System i Access for Windows has nothing to do with making a share to a

drive to work. Any PC without it should still be able to map to a share
on an i. I just tested that on a PC without it and it worked fine. One
of my i's also had no problem accessing shares defined on that PC (by
using QNTC). So, even when you get this done you may still be in the same

boat. What the program does give you is iNav which allows you to define a

share on the i for ALL pc's to access regardless of whether or not they
have System i Access for Windows.

Keep in mind that certain levels of service packs of System i Access for
Windows 6.1 require certain service packs of Windows to work. And I
believe that all of 7.1 requires those service packs of Windows to be
applied.
