I've been using the full 6.2.2 since it was released with no problems,
but yesterday it stopped starting. I had not changed one thing. The
error message in Event viewer was very similar to the one mentioned at
the beginning of this thread, but did not mention Perl or a line number
for the error, e.g:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: OpenService failed: The specified
service does not exist as an installed service

I have now updated to todays nightly of 6.2.3 and find that the install
won't finish completely and SlimServer still won't start up. I am left
with an open dos window stating "Slimsvc installed as SlimServer" and
the SlimServer set up window hanging at "Finishing Installation".
Holding my mouse over the tray icon does not display SlimServer
starting, as expected, but SlimServer stopped instead. In Services it
appears to be starting.... but it isn't finishing starting up. My
computer is whirring.

I have two others error in my event log, which seem to have been going
on at least as long as I have been trying to get SlimServer to start (a
day and a half):

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine
CoCreateInstance.  hr = 0x80040206.

The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal
processing.  HRESULT was 800706BA from line 44 of
d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp.  Please
contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.

All else about my laptop seems to be functioning OK (although there is
nothoing but a cut down Windows XP and SlimServer on it.

I'm not sure if these arrors are due to some SlimServer vagary or
because the machine is about to give up the ghost.

I've not added to the bug cos I'm not certain I'm experiencing the same
thing as the others on this thread.

I have Netgear router based DHCP serving out fixed IPs. I have rebooted
every device on my network to no avail.

My laptop is still whirring.
