SUMMARY
=======

When you send packages to a Systems Management Server client, the following
error message appears on the desktop of the client:

  %systemdrive%\WINNT\MS\SMS\Clicomp\Apa\Bin\Pea32.exe
  %systemdrive%\temp\. A temporary file needed for initialization could not be
  created or could not be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists,
  and disk space is available. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This message usually appears when the client has run out of disk space, which
causes the 16-bit subsystem to fail.

To prevent this error, ensure that the client has enough disk space before you
send the package.
