Environment

Novell Client for Windows XP/2003
NMAS Client 3.4.0 (or earlier)

Situation

Unable to uninstall the NMAS Client

The NMAS client has a dependency on NICI while both installing and uninstalling. NICI needs to be installed on the system before the NMAS client is installed. Also NICI must be present on the system while the NMAS client is being uninstalled.

Resolution

Starting with NMAS Client 3.4.2 (and greater)

The uninstall code of the NMAS Client will bypass the NICI dependencies and continue the uninstall when NICI isn't present. This allows the uninstall process of the NMAS Client to complete and cleanup the file system when NICI isn't available.
