PRB: MTS Client Installation EXE Is Not Created with Specific MTS Configuration (197816)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Transaction Server 2.0
  • Microsoft COM

This article was previously published under Q197816

SYMPTOMS

The MTS client installation .exe is not created during a package export if the System package is configured in the following way:

  • The MTS System package's Administrator role does not contain the System package's identity account.

    -and-
  • Authorization Checking is turned on for the System package.

CAUSE

If Authorization Checking is turned on for the System package a check is made on the system package's Administrator role for the identity of the system package.

RESOLUTION

To have a client installation .exe generated during a package export, do the following:

  1. Add the Windows NT account used for the System package's identity to the System package's Administrator role. You can also add a Windows NT group containing the System package's identity account to the Administrator role.
  2. Turn off Authorization checking for the System.
Sometimes a missing MtxClex.dll in the SYSTEM package could also prevent you from exporting the client installation .exe. If missing, be sure you register it with the SYSTEM package.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
