SMS: Edit .ini File Fails on Win95/98 if Compiled with '32-Bit Only'

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0
• Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When using Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer version 2.0 to compile a script with the Edit INI File action included in it, the action might fail if the script is run on a Microsoft Windows 95 or a Microsoft Windows 98 system.

This will occur if the script was compiled using the Microsoft SMS Installer 32 and it was compiled only for 32-bit clients. The option to compile only for 32-bit clients is selected under installation properties\destination platforms in the script editor. Select both 16-bit and 32-bit under installation properties\destination platforms in the script editor before compiling the executable.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server Installer version 2.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server Installer version 2.0.
