SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to run MIFGEN.EXE, the following error message appears:

  Could not load language DLL MIFGEN.DLL

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when the Language setting in the International portion of
Control Panel has been changed to something other than "English (American)."

By default Systems Management Server puts _MIFGEN.DLL in the 00000409
subdirectory of \SMS\SITE.SRV\<PLATFORM.BIN>. The 00000409 subdirectory is
the Language ID associated with the English (American) setting.

RESOLUTION
==========

There are currently two ways to solve this problem:

1. Change the Country and Language settings back to "United States" and "English
  (American)."

2. Create a subdirectory in \SMS\SITE.SRV\<PLATFORM.BIN> with the same
  Language ID as the Language setting in the International portion of Control
  Panel (See below for supported Language IDs). Then copy _MIFGEN.DLL into that
  subdirectory.

Example: If you were using "United Kingdom" for Country and "English (British)"
for Language then you would create a subdirectory called 00000809 in the
\SMS\SITE.SRV\<PLATFORM.BIN> directory.
