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.
