For a Microsoft Outlook 98 Deployment Kit English version of this article, see 220923.

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Japanese Outlook Deployment Kit to create Microsoft Outlook 98 foreign language deployment packages, package creation may fail with the following error message:

The Outlook 98 Deployment Wizard was unable to generate a customized version of Outlook. Either an error has occurred, or the user pressed Cancel

CAUSE

When the Odklang.exe file copies files from the CD, it is preserving the read-only attribute of most of the files. When the ODK wizard tries to build a custom package, it has problems with the read-only state of some of the files.
