Hi, Make sure that you've downloaded that hotfix from this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977384 Otherwise, once I've seen the same problem but with the beta or the ctp file (I don't remember) and when I checked the smsprov.log I found this line "The package must be at least 1 and less than 50 characters in lentgh", therefore I've changed the name of the file (for example KBforR3.msi) and the problem was solved.Bechir Gharbi | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/bgharbi/default.aspx

Dear Bechir For me I got the same error, I resolved by permission and UAC, the account I am using have membership of domain users and local administrators on the server. Steps: 1 Give permission to SMS_111 Folder like: R+W in Share Permission and Modify for NTFS Permission to the account I am using 2 then I have found that the sub Folders “Client\I386\Hotfix” they are blocked coz of UAC, for these I disable UAC, restart WMI, and restart Server, then everything went fine.
