Detecting that a Novell client is in use

Detecting that a Novell client is in use
Sat, 20 May 2006 10:32:37 GMT
Hi there

I'm currently writing a script for a setup program (in Inno Setup for 
those who know it).
The program I have to instal has a particularity (I have to add 2 dll 
during the installation process) when running in a Netware environment 
with a Novell client (can be under 9x, Me, NT4, 2K or XP).
My problem is to detect if a Novell client is in use on the computer, 
how can I detect this? registry key or value?

Thanks in advance

yes, that's possible, take a look here:

that should help you find the right reg entries....

Thanks Guenter, I'm going to test the keys asap. I'll let you know.

Will your program run if the user is logged into the workstation but not 
into NetWare, with the two extra DLLs? Guess my point is, why not simply 
add the 2 DLLs regardless?
