SMS: SMSEXEC Dr. Watson When Decompressing a Package File (182419)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q182419 SYMPTOMS
When you run SMSEXEC, a Dr. Watson error may occur when decompressing a
Package File if the path length of the package's directory structure is
longer than 200 characters.
If the package's directory structure exceeds 200 characters, the Systems
Management Server Despooler Service generates the following error when it
attempts to decompress the package:
SMSEXEC.EXE - Application Error
The instruction at "0x1f359f78" referenced memory at
"0x2e6e6f69". The memory could not be "written".
Note that the memory values may vary.
The last entry in the Despool.log file will be:
Decompressing package <file name> to C:\_S M0000.TMP
CAUSE
In a package that contains subdirectories and files, the path and filename
combination can not exceed 200 characters. For example, if a sharing
package is defined with the following directory structure
\<RootDir>\Directory 1\Directory 2\Filename.txt
where <RootDir> is the root of the package source directory, then the
length of the path "\Directory 1\Directory 2\Filename.txt" cannot exceed
200 characters.
STATUS

version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service
Pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2. For information on
