You cannot distribute or install a software package in Windows Server 2003 if the software package contains a very large signed file. This problem typically occurs when the signed file is larger than 500 megabytes. For example, you may experience the following symptoms:
| • | Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) that is running on a Windows Server 2003-based server cannot deploy Windows Vista Service Pack 1 to the clients. |
| • | Game manufacturers cannot distribute games that have large signed files. |
Note This problem also occurs in Windows XP.
