 Last reviewed: April 15, 1997
Article ID: Q160566
1.20 The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When Package Command Manager (PCM) attempts to run a command, and the command line points to a specific drive letter (for example, q:\app1), a dialog box appears with the following error message: 

   Cannot find the file <filename>. Make sure that the file exists on your
   system and that the path and filename are correct.

CAUSE

Package Command Manager is looking for the file in the package, not in the specified location.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, place the file referred to in the command line in the package. Do not specify a path in the command line properties of the package.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
