Windows XP Pro Event ID 59 with SXS.DLL

[bostjan]

I have an application on windows 98. It's C drive is fully shared.
Another PC runs WIN XP SP2 PRO. It has a network share set as F: driver
to "win98"'s C: drive. User on XP is administrator - no restrictions or
anything. When XP user tries to run my application, he get's a response
that it's a damaged application.

Event shows ID 59 error of "Generate Activation Context" in SXS.DLL.

What's going on? If I copy my .exe to local disk and set startup
directory of it's shortcut to F:\ everythings is ok.

Erm, I don't think any of the problems in the below articles is the
same as mine. Especially since I got no server in this case,
especially not 2003 64-bit one. Some research I did (not too
successful though) made me believe there's something wrong with some
manifest. My application does use XP manifest but I'm 99% sure the
problem isn't within my app really - as it works on numerous other
locations without any problem at all.

Funny thing is that if I call another (but totally different)
application from the SAME folder (located on win98 machine, called on
win xp), it opens.

So I guess there's some corruption or bug on these XP machines that
has to do with XP manifest. And here my clues, especially solutions,
end.

Can you copy paste the copy of Event ID: 59 from Event Viewer into a
further post here.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.
