Re: Errors on Some Machines After Harware Inventory

Hi,

Mike ..you are not alone.

We have the exact same error. Deploying to about 250 machines and we have
had about 3 of these occurrences. No information as to why (apart from your
input) and no solution other than to run msicleaner and re-install - (a REAL
pain since we need to do the SP's as well.) - Interested in any replies.
