- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q191211
SYMPTOMS
When using Systems Management Server Installer, you may receive a dialog
box containing the following message when you attempt to run the
uninstallation:
Could not open INSTALL.LOG file.
This dialog box indicates that there is a problem in opening the log
specified on the command line used to call the uninstaller. The message is
erroneous in that it specifically says "Could not open Install.log file"
when this may not be the installation log file name you specified on the
command line for uninstallation.
This problem occurs with both Uninstal.exe and Uninst32.exe.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
Installer version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Additional query words: uninstal uninst32 uninstall deinstall deinstal deinstallation filename prodsms
