SYMPTOMS
========
When passing an argument to the Watch feature of the Systems Management Server
Installer, the following error might appear:
The file C:\winnt\program.exe argument is not a valid Win32 application. You
must use the 32-bit edition of the Microsoft SMS Installer to run Win32
applications and the 16-bit edition to run Win16 applications.
CAUSE
=====
The Systems Management Server Installer Watch function executes the entire
string passed to it from the Watch "Application Path" line.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, put the command line with the arguments in a batch
file and call the batch file from the Systems Management Server Installer Watch
"Application Path."
