Jun 03, 2018 my windows update 1709 keeps asking me to manually uninstall the Novell Client for Windows. The update will not continue until this issue has been resolved. The problem is that I NEVER had this client installed. I have never had anything Novell at this site. I am at a loss. I am about the just wipe the machine and start over.
Is it possible the download for this program is somewhere in your files, as apparently the buggy Updates installer views that as installed. Do a keyword search in taskbar search box.
What I would do if you haven't yet is manually install Fall Creator Version 1709 by installing Media Creation Tool and choosing to Upgrade Now. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m....
This the most stable method to upgrade to the new version (which you need anyway) and will bring you fully up to date with reinstalled Windows that often will solve any other problems you have.
You can use the same tool to download the ISO or create bootable media so you only need to do it once, and have the bootable media for repairs or possible Clean Install.
If there are any hurdles during the Upgrade see these steps to optimize the install as this is evidence it's corrupted: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...
But remember that a factory or Upgrade install are inferior installs that most enthusiasts would never run in the first place because they'd expect endless issues. Most prefer to do the gold standard Clean install from this link which has had no reported issues: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I'll keep working with you until this is resolved.
trying out Novell Client 2 SP4 for Windows (IR1). and yet somehow its not connecting me to the server. all settings seem to be in order. what am i missing? is there maybe a firewall in windows 10? has anyone done this successfully?
Edit: (11-20-15) solved !! Thank you all for your advice,pity, sympathy, empathy.. Etc lol. It looks like upgrading from a prior version of Windows doesn't do a good install of Novell client. I did a clean install and then installed the client and bam!
