SYMPTOMS

Management Server Installer that is running under Windows for Workgroups, you
may be unable to view the entire script using the Script Editor view.

CAUSE

Many 16-bit operating systems such as Windows for Workgroups have a limitation
on how much can be displayed in the Script Editor view.

It will be necessary to use Systems Management Server Installer on computers
