The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft OEM Preinstall Kit (OPK)

-



SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade the OEM Preinstall Kit tools (OPKTools) on the technician computer from an earlier version, the files that are located in the following folder are not updated:

\OPKTools\Lang\ \Tools\IA64

These files include Factory.exe, Setupcl.exe, Sysprep.exe, Efinvr.exe, and Netcfg.exe.



RESOLUTION
Because a bug exists in the installer, you have to manually update the directory that is mentioned in &quot;Symptoms&quot;.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue and successfully upgrade OPKTools, use one of the following methods.

Method A

 * 1) Start the OPKTools CD-ROM. A menu appears that gives you the option to upgrade.
 * 2) Select the upgrade option.
 * 3) After the upgrade is complete, copy files from a folder on the CD-ROM to a folder on the technician computer as follows:
 * 4) * From: \Tools\IA64
 * 5) * To: \OPKTools\Lang\ \Tools\IA64

Method B
On the technician computer, remove the current version of OPKTools, and then install the new version of OPKTools.

Note Removing OPKTools does not remove any configuration sets that have been created. After you reinstall the tools, the existing configuration sets do function as they did before you removed them.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article.
