SMSINST: Script Item Text Must be Defined for Every Language (198720)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer 1.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer 2.0

This article was previously published under Q198720

SYMPTOMS

When multiple languages are defined in Systems Management Server Installer, all custom text labels for script items may be blank even though they were defined within the script. This may happen if a script item with custom text is created in one language, and then another language is selected. The text that was defined for the script item may now be blank in the newly selected language.

CAUSE

If you have not clicked to select the Copy Default check box on the Languages tab in Installation Properties, SMS Installer does not populate the default, custom text values to the other languages selected, and these custom text values have to be entered in manually for all other languages.

If you have clicked to select the Copy Default check box, all of the script item text, from the language in which they were created, are used in the script items for the other languages.

MORE INFORMATION

To manually enter custom text values in the other languages, in the script editor, click the desired language in the Language box, open the script item, and then type in the text values. Do this for all script items that contain custom text.
