The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
--------
1. After the software is installed you can export the registry tree to a text
file.
2. Create a batch file that calls REGINI to import the text file into the
registry.
3. 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.
