Put a file (not a folder) into the system folder called MS. Make sure it has
no extension. SMS 2.0 needs to create a folder called MS in the c:\winnt or
c:\windows directory to install. This file prevents the folder from being
created and will stop the installation process. There is probably a better
way to do this but it works. Test this first. It's cheap and cheesy and won't
stop them from being discovered but works.
