SYMPTOMS

When a Systems Management Server Installer script is compiled with WIN16/WIN32 as its destination platform and then executed on a computer running Microsoft Windows 95, an Install Status MIF file may not be generated. This does not occur on computers running Windows NT, nor does it happen with Installer scripts compiled as True WIN32.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, compile your Installer executable selecting the True WIN32 destination platform. This can be done from the Global tab within the Advanced Configuration properties.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server Installer version 1.0.
