[OpenAFS-devel] OpenAFS 1.2.3 Windows binaries

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi,
  I tried to install the openafs client on old windows95 OSR2 laptop, and
would like to note two things I've faced. I have to say I did not have
time to test if the installation worked at all, as solving the problems
took me a while and then .... :(

  Binaries require MFC42.DLL, which have to be downloaded and installled
additionally, possibly from 
http://www.webattack.com/help/missingfiles.html

  When the AFS Control Panel 1.2.2b got started, it exited with error
message that mmap.vxd cannot be located (actually this message I already
got when booting into windows). It seemed that the path in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services/VxD\mmap had to be
specified in the DOS way, so the directory name truncated using the
"~" into the DOS 8.3 notation. I think the installer put there full long
path.

  When I get back to the laptop physically, I'll test it a bit more. ;)
Hope this helps someone who did de binary release. Except the
synchronized time it's not clear to me, how the kerberos part has to be
configured on windows. Any hints? TIA. ;)
