[OpenAFS-devel] Windows 2000 AFS Server config failing...

[James Peterson]

The problem with running the AFS Configuration Wizard for Windows 2000/NT:
>  "AFS client in this computer is not compatible with the AFS server. AFS
server requires
>  at least version 3.5 of AFS client."

The following patch should fix this problem.

          RunWizard();




P.S.  I'm working on the binary for Windows 2000/NT 1.2.0a that will
include this patch.
