I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
i have a pc with XP pro SP3
it had SEPM v11 and the new client v12ru3: now i have a new real server, so i unistalled SEPM
after this, the client had some problem. so i executed cleanwipe on this pc
after this every new installation of the sep client didn't work
to fix this:
Create a custom setting under the “Client Install Settings” options to not use “Add the program to the Start Menu”, leave this unchecked.
Create an install package whit this setting. the install works.
If the install is successful, manually create the shortcut on the desktop that points SymCorpUI.exe.”
