XCLN: ODKLang Tool Fails During Package Creation

ID: Q220923

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 98 Deployment Kit

SYMPTOMS

When creating Outlook 98 foreign language deployment packages using the English Outlook Deployment Kit, the package creation may fail with the following error message:

The Outlook 98 Deployment Wizard was unable to generate a customized version of Outlook. Either an error has occurred, or the user pressed Cancel

CAUSE

When the Odklang.exe copies files from the CD, it is preserving the read-only attribute of most of the files. When the ODK wizard tries to build a custom package, it has problems with the read-only state of some of the files.
