XCLN: ODKLang Tool Fails During Package Creation (220923)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 98 Deployment Kit
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q220923

SYMPTOMS

When creating Outlook 98 foreign language deployment packages using the English Outlook Deployment Kit, the package creation may fail with the following error message:
The Outlook 98 Deployment Wizard was unable to generate a customized version of Outlook. Either an error has occurred, or the user pressed Cancel

CAUSE

When the Odklang.exe copies files from the CD, it is preserving the read-only attribute of most of the files. When the ODK wizard tries to build a custom package, it has problems with the read-only state of some of the files.
