I have a new machine loaded with Windows 2000 Professional. I install Novell's client for NT 4.81. I am trying to install Novell's GroupWise 5.5 on the system. Installing it as a Standard Install. I am not installing Windows Messaging. However, everytime I install GroupWise it appears to be fine, until I run the program. I get a message that says that GroupWise was not install correctly and to try installing it again. 5 times and still I get that message. Does Windows 2000 have any compatibility issues with Novell GroupWise 5.5 or does someone know how to install it on Windows 200.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

I think I might have a solution for you, this is a fairly common problem.
By default, Microsoft Windows Messaging does not install on Windows 2000. Novell has an updated version of the file that will work with NT & 2K for Groupwise 5.5 Ihave included a link to it below for you.

For Windows 2000: Download and install the file WINNTWMS.EXE from http://support.novell.com. This must be installed before you can install a GroupWise 5.5 client on a new install of Windows 2000 Professional, Server or Advanced Server. See TID 2955774 .
More than likely you would do well to uninstall Groupwise then install the aforemention file then re-install.

Let me know how it goes.
James
