Environment

Novell NetWare

Situation

Installing PDS CPK

a) Error: "Unable to read the ZFS version information from the registry...exiting
Installation of ZSM 7 upgrade failed...Try Creating the Version registry value and run the CPK"

b) Error: "Unable to read SYS:\\SYSTEM\\Zenworks.properties"

Updated PDS files are not copied

Resolution

a) For the error "Unable to read the ZFS version information from the registry...exiting
Installation of ZSM 7 upgrade failed...Try Creating the Version registry value and run the CPK"
create a file containing the following lines:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\novell\zenworks\pds\zfs]
"Version"="7.0.1.20060617"

Save the file on the server, e.g., as SYS:\PUBLIC\ZEN.REG

At the system console, enter the command REGEDIT

Once in the registry editor, enter the command to load your registry file, e.g.

LOAD SYS:\PUBLIC\ZEN.REG

use the command EXIT to leave the registry editor

b) For the error: "Unable to read SYS:\\SYSTEM\\Zenworks.properties"
Check for SYS:\SYSTEM\zenworks.properties if this file does not exist, copy one from another server, or create one based on the sample file shown in the Additional Information section of this TID.
