CAUSE
This problem may occur if the SMS Advanced client is installed to a folder path that contains a space. For example, the following path contains a space:
C:\Program Files\SMSClient
When you run Scanwrapper.exe on this folder, Scanwrapper.exe cannot run the Mofcomp.exe utility. Therefore, Scanwrapper.exe returns a failure error message to the SMS site server.
