SYMPTOMS

If a package is run on a Macintosh client using PCMMAC and the command line contains a space character, error 43 occurs. The following are some examples of this error message:

Error -43 in file CPACKAGE.CPP line 531 FNFERR. File not found. Invalid package command line.
Error -43 in file CTABLE.CPP line 198 FNFERR. File not found.
Error -43 in file CPACKAGE.CPP line 526 FNFERR. File not found. Invalid package command line.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, enclose the command line in quotation marks in the package properties. For example, if the command line is

   SMS Installer

Replace it with:

   "SMS Installer"
