SMSINST: SMS Installer Ignores REG_NONE Key Changes (177837)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer 1.0
This article was previously published under Q177837 SYMPTOMS
Systems Management Server Installer does not detect registry changes for
the REG_NONE value type and does not create registry values for REG_NONE
when an application is repackaged. REG_NONE is a registry value type
created by the registry APIs.
WORKAROUND
Use either of the following methods to work around this problem.
Method 1- After the software is installed you can export the registry tree to a
text file.
- Create a batch file that calls REGINI to import the text file into the
registry.
- Create a Systems Management Server package to distribute the files to
the clients.
Method 2
Manually script and compile a separate Systems Management Server Installer
package to update the registry with the changes that were not added to the
script during the Repackage operation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
Installer version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
