DOS Client Install error

[dande]

Freshly formated dos 6.22 with ms lanman2.2c. I can connect, logon and map network drives from the w/s. When I attempt to run the wfclient.exe after installing from disks I get this error "DOS/4GW fatal error (1010): can't initialize loader LINEXE_Loader [1]". Did I overlook something?

Are you useing the 32 or 16 bit client?
Have you downloaded the latest DOS client from

http://www.citrix.com.

Try deleting the wfclient folder or just the contents & re-installing.

kestrel1 - Thanks for your reply, it must have been a memory configuration problem. I ran the memmaker utility agin and it worked fine. I'm gussing a configuration related to the extended memory. Do you know if there a way to "auto start" a published desktop session using the DOS Client? The less user interaction with the client the better. Thanks.

Run wfclient.exe & configure this correctly for your published application. Use TCP/IP - VSL.
Once you get the application running, add the following to your autoexec.bat file
wfclient.exe "appname" (replace appname with what ever you called your session in the wfclient)
If you want this to restart when a user logs out then you need to add two lines to your autoexec.bat file.
One above your wfclient.exe "appname" line:
:rerun (ensure you use the colon)
& one after
goto rerun
This will restart the client.
I only discovered this today, as I am working on this at the moment, but it seems to work just fine.

Works great here! Thanks. Real computer users "don't do windows" - real computer users do DOS!!

Glad it works for you. I will be setting up more DOS clients. I did have the opertunity to get a Linux solution to this, but it was £35 for each machine. This way you can use the old licences that you never thought you would use again & it boots up quicker (about half the time) than the Linux solution.
Took a bit of working out though. The people who have replied to other posts on this site helped a great deal.
Great big thanks to all the Citrix experts.

Same here, I'm reusing NT machines as DOS clients and starting a published desktop, inplace of new purchases. I am greatfull for your guidence.
