Ok, problem partly solved.
User installed 1.3.6500 on XP SP1, under custom path.
User updated to 1.3.7100 without deleting preferences.
OpenAFS 1.3.7100 didn't start up at all.
Deleting 1.3.7100 and reinstall under Program files gave the the problem
described with no afsconfig.dll
So, deleted all afs files found and the ms loopback adapter, install the
1.3.6500 AND copy all the dlls from common to AFS Dir, AFS service runs
and user get token. But the config of service doesn't work, we had to
call the afsconfig.exe by hand to config the client.
After all: VERY confusing with path and .dll's.
Why are so many files left on the PC AFTER deinstall OpenAFS? The
registry isn't cleaned, the path seems to be false...

Another Problem: OpenAFS fails to start and hits errors if it can't
write the AFSCache on Windows2000. Very obscure enforcer hits, but the
logfile showed the problem :-)
