Troubleshooting Guidelines for SMS Conversion
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Repackager
Use the following troubleshooting guidelines to identify and fix SMS conversion problems.
| • | All files must be available—All the files that were available to the original SMS installation project must be available to the converted installation at the exact same locations. |
| • | Not all elements of an SMS installation are converted—Because SMS installations are based on a different technology than Windows Installer, not all elements of a SMS installation are converted. Only the installation of files, registry changes, .ini Files, ODBC, NT Services, Fonts, Shortcuts, Variables, and other system changes are converted. |
| • | Custom logic is not converted—Custom logic written in SMS’s custom scripting language is not converted. |
| • | SMS environment variable assignments are not converted—To re-add environment variable assignments in a Windows Installer installation, open the converted project in InstallShield Editor and use the Environment Variable view. |
