Client Setup Fails to Find Windows If WINDIR is Incorrect (140152)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q140152 SYMPTOMS
When you run SMSLS.BAT or RUNSMS.BAT, Systems Management Server Client
Setup is unable to find the Windows directory if the WINDIR environment
variable is set to "\WINDOWS" instead of "C:\WINDOWS".
CAUSE
SMS uses multiple techniques to find the Windows directory. The first is to
look at the WINDIR environment variable. If that does not work, it is
supposed to follow the path looking for WIN.COM. However, if WINDIR does
not point to the Windows directory, the second approach is not used.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new
information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
