SMS: Aborted SMS Installer Installation Requests a Restart (212847)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer 2.0
This article was previously published under Q212847

SYMPTOMS

When a Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer executable is aborted during execution, the Installer program requests a restart.

CAUSE

Files still in use cannot be returned to the pre-installed state until the computer is restarted. The restart is automatically requested so that any temporary files in the destination directory can be renamed back to their original file names.

WORKAROUND

The RESTART variable in the Installer script can be altered to suppress a restart message.
