Hi Bill,
Possible cause would be another application adding or removing values
from the
System Path Variables.
Possible Resolution:
Locate the system Variable Path in the Advanced Properties of My computer
- System Variable Path will look something like this
"%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32
\Wbem"
- Change the path to look like this
"C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS\system32\Wbem"
- Open Add/Remove Programs and Add/Remove Windows Components.
Confirm that the following Registry key has the correct install path listed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC\Setup
Check the Sysoc.inf file in your Windows\INF directory. You will need the
"show hidden files" option enabled to see the file. Compare the entries in
this file with a similarly configured machine.
Register the msdtcstp.dll file using the /regsvr32 command.
Start, Run, "/regsvr32 msdtcstp.dll" <without the quotation marks>
Good Luck,
Matt Hendrix [MSFT]
