SharePoint Hotfix for Migrating SPS 2001 Data

There was an issue with running the spin.exe tool to import SharePoint 2001 content into SharePoint 2003 where folder names containing spaces were not correctly migrated. The problem is that spout.exe converts the space character to its “%20“ hex equivalent, and spin.exe keeps looking for spaces when setting up links to the new locations. Spin.exe never finds a match, so the links remain connected to the 2001 content.

A hotfix to solve this is now available: http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback_867800.aspx
