Environment

Novell GroupWise 8
Novell GroupWise 8 Hot Patch 1
Novell GroupWise 8 Hot Patch 2
Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1
Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 1
Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2

Situation

The Calendar Host Publisher install routine requires that the Novell client be installed before the install will complete.  There isn't anything in the Calendar Host Publisher install that should be dependent on the Novell client but doing the install without it's presence results in the following errors:
 
Unable to load the resource DLL c:\groupwise\internet\calhost\webEN.dll
 
clicking on Ok at that error starts the install and it progresses a bit farther and then presents this error:
 
setup failed to run installation (0x80040702)
 
The only option at that point is to cancel the install.

Resolution

At this point, the workaround is to install the Novell client, do the Calendar Host Publisher install and then remove the Novell client.  This has been reported to engineering.
