SYMPTOMS
========

If you are in an environment where the Terminal Server Client might be installed
from several locations, be aware that, if you choose to reinstall the Terminal
Server Client, it will try to reinstall from the original Client software
directory, regardless of from where you want to install.

=====

This is caused by the software retaining its initial installation path.

RESOLUTION

To work around the problem, choose to uninstall the Terminal Server Client
before reinstalling the client.
