"An Error occurred connecting you to the target server"
"Unable to find load file INSTPROX.NLM"
"NIAgent.dispatchNICommand:provider instprox not registered"
Error occurs right after providing user credentials for the target server
Resolution
On an OES NetWare box, the INSTPROX.NLM file is located in the SYS:\NI\NIS30\BIN directory. Copy the INSTPROX.NLM from this directory into the SYS:SYSTEM directory and run the installation again.
This issue has also been documented int he iManager 2.5 Readme.
This issue will be resolved in the next full release of iManager 2.x
Additional Information
The iManager 2.5 remote installer requires that the file INSTPROX.NLM be available in the SYS:SYSTEM directory on the server. On a NetWare OES fresh install, this file is not included by default in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
