Installing Backup Exec 9.1 on Novell Netware

Hi!

I am trying to install Veritas Backup Exec for NetWare Servers 9.1.

But i am getting an error/question message saying:

"Backup Exec is currently running on the server.
You must go to the server and unload it before setup can complete

Has Backup Exec been unloaded?

YES NO"

I have checked and checked again, and Backup Exec is not running on the server i am trying to install to. So when i press YES, the message still comes up again.

How can this be solved?

Hope there is a quick solution and answer to this!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Type BESTOP at the NetWare server console to unload Backup Exec. Also, try renaming the sys:\bkupexec folder to sys:\bkupexec.old. Then retry the install...

By the way - this is the Windows forum, this should really be posted in the NetWare forum.

Hello Ronny,

Could you please update us on the issue? Have you been able to install Backup Exec successfully?

Also, this thread would be moved to the Backup Exec for Netware Forum.

Thanks!
