SYMPTOMS
After configuring and distributing Microsoft Works 3.0 as a Systems
Management Server shared application, an OLE registration error message
appears when you attempt to start Works. After choosing OK, Works runs
normally with no further errors.
CAUSE
OLE applications are supposed to update their Registry entries on startup
to reflect the actual locations from which they run. Works is reporting an
error if these settings are as expected. In this instance, Works objects to
the SMS proxy applications file specification in its OLE Registry entries.
This has no effect on how OLE and the MSAPPS proxies work as the actual
path is resolved when an MSAPPs program is executed. The message is a
warning and not an indication that Works is improperly configured.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server
version 1.1.
