-OpenAFS for Windows 1.3.8500 Installation Notes
+OpenAFS for Windows 1.3.8600 Installation Notes
-----------------------------------------------
-The OpenAFS for Windows product was very poorly maintained throughout the
-1.2.x release cycle. While the Unix version was being enhanced and its
-quality was improving the Windows version stagnated. The IBM AFS 3.6 product
-was not designed for the Windows 2000/XP/2003 operating system nor was it
-architected with highly disconnected environments in mind.
+OpenAFS for Windows 1.3.8600 is the best client available for
+Microsoft Windows operating systems. It can be installed either as
+a new installation or an upgrade from previous versions of OpenAFS
+for Windows or IBM AFS for Windows. Installers are provided in two
+forms:
-The 1.3.x series of releases not only fixes a large number of bugs in the 1.2
-series but also attempts to enhance the functionality of the product to better
-fit the usage model of today's users. Several items standout.
+ * an executable (.exe) that is based upon the Nullsoft Scriptable
+ Installation System, or
-0. The default AFSCache file is approximately 100MB. This space is required
-in addition to the space allocated to OpenAFS binaries.
+ * a Windows Installer package (.msi) that is built using WiX and
+ can be customized for organizations via the use of MSI Transforms
+ (see msi-deployment-guide.txt)
+System Requirements:
+
+Operating System: Windows 2000, 2000 Server, XP Home, XP Pro, 2003 Server
+64-bit versions of Windows are not supported in this release.
+
+Disk Space: up to 60mb required for the OpenAFS binaries plus 100MB
+for the default AFSCache file. (The size of the AFSCache file may
+be adjusted via the Registry after installation.)
+
+Additional Softare: MIT Kerberos for Windows 2.6.x if Kerberos 5
+authentication support is desired.
1. The Kerberos 4 infrastructure on which the 1.2 series is reliant is no
longer secure. Cross-realm Kerberos is very important in the AFS context and
