I just can tell, I=B4ve got no problem with the msi files from the websit=
e
on my vista business pro laptop.
First I installed OpenAFS (right now 1.5.24 - yes, I know the problems
with that version, but it works) with custom options (set our cell as
standard and no DNS entries, no dynroot) and other options standard.
After that reboot, install krb5 3.2.1 from the MSI and start that manager.
After that I select options and set the options, restart OpenAFS and I
could obtain tokens and tickets and can access our cell.
And yes, it worked with OpenAFS 1.5.21, to.
And with ALL my krb5 3.2.1 installation the AFS tab was available but
not needed. We use automatic logon within OpenAFS so no AFS functions in
krb5 needed so far.
I suggest you should try it your own and see what fails.
