Client fails installation

Hello All,

I am having a problem with clients being installed on both Windows XP SP1a
machines and Windows 2000 SP4 machines.

The SMS server pushes the client, and appears to work but i get the same
error in each machine as shown below:

Product: SMS Advanced Client -- Configuration failed.

I also get the following information in the client.msi.log file:

Property(S):
SmsSoftwareDistributionCacheSize.8AE6A59B_5597_4D75_9BFD_7F566BF56500 = 250
Property(S): CcmAdministratorsGroupName = Administrators
Property(S): CcmUsersGroupName = Users
Property(S): CcmCreatorOwnerAccountName = CREATOR OWNER
Property(S): PrimaryVolumePath = C:
MSI (s) (2C:2C) [11:00:46:100]: Note: 1: 1729

It appears to me that the SMS client is trying to be installed by the
creator owner but we have used a domain admin account to install the client
by default.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dean
