SYMPTOMS
========
When the wizard creates SMS Installer code, or if you create code by using the
Parse String action, you can parse a string and split it into separate
variables. However, in SMS Installer version 2.0.148, if you parse a string into
a single string, the rest of the string is allocated to a null variable (%%).
Therefore, if you want to display a dialog box that contains a percent character
(%), which requires using double percent characters (%%), you get the remainder
of the parsed string instead of a percent character.
This works as expected in earlier versions of SMS Installer.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, declare the rest of the string in the second
variable of the Parse String action.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SMS Installer 2.0.148.
