SYMPTOMS
When you run the Security Hotfix Checker scan tool (S_scan.exe), you may receive the following prompt:

Please select the language that you would like to use during the installation.

The Security Hotfix Checker scan tool is part of the Security Update Inventory tool in the Systems Management Server (SMS) Software Update Services (SUS) Feature Pack.



CAUSE
Your regional language setting is not configured to use one of the languages that are supported by the scan tool. Or, the scan tool cannot determine your language setting.



RESOLUTION
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next Systems Management Server service pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services telephone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

How to Install the Hotfix
To install the update, download and install the updated Smssusfp_ self-extracting download file for the appropriate language, and then run the updated Setup program (SecurityPatch_ .exe) from the Smssusfp_  folder (where   is the three-digit language code).

Note Setup detects and removes previous installations of the tool, but you can permit Setup not to remove the collections, packages, programs, and advertisements that a previous installation of the tool created. If you keep the existing SMS objects that you used during a previous deployment, Setup reuses these objects. If a previous deployment used customized settings, review the settings for the package, program, collections and advertisements to make sure that they are appropriate for your environment. The settings that Setup uses are basic default settings, but they may not be suitable for all environments.
