Really? I have not seem this statement.
I have spoken to HP Support this morning and they have advised me that this is a known issue and are recommending customers do not run the whole SPP using HPSUM.bat but to use the individual components (cp0xxxx.exe) one at a time!
They said there was no advisory yet but there will be soon apparently.
I guess 2012.02.0 wasn't quite ready for use yet.
