SYMPTOMS

When a user attempts an installation to overwrite existing files that he or she
does not have write permissions to, the Systems Management Server Installer does
not fail or notify the user; it attempts to do a synchronous system shutdown.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Systems Management Server
Installer version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
