SYMPTOM:
1.) The btrieve status 46 error occurs when attempting to delete information,
or add custom information, to the inventory database, and the deletion or
addition of information fails. Typically, this problem occurs when trying to
delete duplicate entries in the database.
2.) The on-line dialers and WUSER.EXE utilize WINSOCK.DLL (if one exists).
When WUSER.EXE loads, some communication
occurs with the WINSOCK.DLL and, therefore, launches the dialer. There are
issues under IntraNetware -IPX/IP Gateway and Novell Internet Access Server
that were fixed here, as well.
NOTE:
To automatically distribute these files:
1. Copy the files to the LDT directory of the ManageWise server
(SERVERNAME\SYS:\MW\LDT\)
2. Modify the SERVERNAME\SYS:MW\LDT\CLNTCFG.INI file using the ADDFILE
command.
This process is outlined below:
a. Locate the [DTM:16TONW] section of the CLNTCFG.INI file
b. Add the line ADDFILEx={%WINDIR}, IMP.INI (where 'x' is the next
numeric value in the list)
c. Add the line ADDFILEx={%WINSYSDIR},IMP.DLL (where 'x' is the next
numeric value in the list)
d. Add the line ADDFILEx={%WINSYSDIR}, WUSER.EXE (where 'x' is the
next numeric value in the list). Here is an EXAMPLE of what the file
should look like:
[DTM:16TONW]
ADDDEV1=VUSER.386
ADDFILE1={%WINSYSDIR}, COEXIST.DLL
.
( The numeric values in addfileX ARE ONLY EXAMPLES!! )
ADDFILE10={%WINDIR}, IMP.INI ;***This line has been added.***
ADDFILE11={%WINSYSDIR}, IMP.DLL ;***This line has been added.***
ADDFILE12={%WINSYSDIR}, WUSER.EXE ;***This line has been added.***
ADDINI1={%WINDIR}, WIN.INI, WINDOWS, LOAD, WUSER.EXE, FALSE
ADDINI2={%WINDIR}, SYSTEM.INI, 386ENH, TIMERCRITICALSECTION, 10000,
TRUE
3.) Problems running CCDRIVER, when Windows is being run off the network, on
drive L.
NOTE: Type ccdriver /? to view the options. To specify a drive other
than L, use ccdriver +{drive letter}. For example, to use drive K and to run in
verbose mode the command would be ccdriver +K /v. Ccdriver gets called from
within mw_login.dat in the sys:public directory, so that file would need to be
modified.
4.) The line "load=nwpopup" from the win.ini file is deleted when a user logs
in as a member of the MANAGEWISEGROUP and his workstation is configured with
the desktop management components of ManageWise. The line is re-written as:
load=wuser.exe
5.) After creating a setting within the 'Device Inventory ' and saving that
setting to a 'Setting Name' , subsequent saved 'setting names' are ignored.
After creating a second( third, forth , etc... ) setting and saving it, the
utility will only utilize the first saved setting even though the screen
display indicates it is looking for something else. (ie, the second, third,
etc... setting is selected) This was fixed in wsight.exe .
SOLUTION:
Apply this patch.

Installation Instructions:
Note: There are several files in this patch including server files and console
files. Please follow the instructions listed below carefully:
On the ManageWise server:
1.) Copy the CCDRIVER.EXE, and CCLOADER.EXE to the sys:mw\ldt directory, after
renaming the old files for backup.
On the ManageWise Console:
2.) Copy IMP.DLL and the WUSER.EXE to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on your
console and ADD a newly created IMP.INI file to the \WINDOWS
directory. The IMP.INI file has the following syntax:
