SYMPTOMS
========


If you load U.S. Systems Management Server on a German version of the Windows 95
client and the German client is added to the server, the upgrade of the client
downloads the German files, but SMSRUN16.INI does not get converted to German.
Only after a second upgrade does the SMSRUN16.INI get upgraded to German.

CAUSE
=====

The szLangPath variable in CLISETUP is not being reset after the new language
code was determined during the upgrade.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
