SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Systems Management Server to upgrade a Windows 3.1 client computer to Windows for Workgroups, the following error message appears after executing the Run Command on Workstation package from the Systems Management Server Package Command Manager application:

Incorrect System Version



CAUSE
The WINSTART command (referenced in the Windows for Workgroups PDF command properties) checks the version of Windows files prior to starting the setup program. Because Package Command Manager sets the current working directory to the package directory a version mismatch occurs.



RESOLUTION
Relocate the Windows for Workgroups source files to a subdirectory of the package source and modify the Workstation Command Line "Automated Setup for Windows/WFW Client" within the Command Line Properties of the Windows for Workgroups Package definition.

For example, if the source files are located in the WFW\WFW311 subdirectory, modify the command line as follows:   winstart wfw311\setup /h:setup.shh This causes Package Command Manager to set the working directory to \WFW and makes WINSTART first check the Windows version there. Upon finding no files, it searches the system path and finds the correct Windows version.

NOTE: For NetWare clients and Windows for Workgroups 3.1 clients, append the /LOCAL switch to the above command as follows:   winstart wfw311\setup /h:setup.shh /local



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.1
