SMS Shared Version of Works 3.0 Displays OLE Error on Startup (124429)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q124429

SYMPTOMS

After configuring and distributing Microsoft Works 3.0 as a Systems Management Server shared application, an OLE registration error message appears when you attempt to start Works. After choosing OK, Works runs normally with no further errors.

CAUSE

OLE applications are supposed to update their Registry entries on startup to reflect the actual locations from which they run. Works is reporting an error if these settings are as expected. In this instance, Works objects to the SMS proxy applications file specification in its OLE Registry entries. This has no effect on how OLE and the MSAPPS proxies work as the actual path is resolved when an MSAPPs program is executed. The message is a warning and not an indication that Works is improperly configured.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.1.
