SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER Error - I figured it out. Thanks anyway.

Figured it out. I made a couple of changes but I believe it was due to
the fact that in the advertisement properties, I changed the radio
button to "Access Distribution Folder thorugh common SMS package
share" instead of "Share Distribution Folder" and it worked. I thought
that I could just have the software install from there.
I'm beginning to understand how this works. (In brief) You take a
program or create a software package and you can either copy it to cd,
share or on the local drive. I made a folder and copied it there. Then
you tell the packager where the software is and then you can tell the
packager to either run it from this location, (which failed for me)
or distribute it to the distribution points. Once I instructed it to
distrubute it to the DP, the software ran on the client.
I was struggling a little as to where to find the progress of the
installation, but I'll look into this next. Thanks anyway.
