I installed beta2 as administrator. It works fine. As
applied the patch for the updater. But, if i log in as
user Fred in administrators group I get message from
gcasDtserv.exe - Title: Error Text: Unexpected
error;quitting. Then I get the same message a second
time. (At minimun i would expect a Microsoft product to
put up a dialog box with the title set to the process
name.)
I click OK (no other choice). The splash screen says
LOADING. Then I get another box: Error Loaidng Microsoft

continue to experience this problem, please uninstall the

Been there done that. I have uninstalled and re-
installed it many times as the Administrator. What is
error 101?

We have a possible workaround in place for the 101 error.
Please test this and provide feedback on the following
steps:

For Windows XP Professional:
To change the setting on Windows XP Professional,
open "Local Security Policy" in Administrative Tools, or
run secpol.msc. You need to be an admin to use this tool.
In the left pane, browse to Security Settings \ Local
Policies \ Security Options. The policy name is "System
objects: Default owner for objects created by members of
the Administrators group". The allowable settings
are "Administrators group" or "Object creator". Change it
to "Administrators group." After that change has been
made, please refresh the policy by
typing: "gpupdate /force" from a command prompt.

For Windows XP Home Edition:

Base:256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry

Find the value called "nodefaultadminowner". The supported

Hi Fred,

I have the same error but I got this while trying to fix a
customer's PC that is badly infected with trojans and
viruses. My hope was that this tool would give me a
starting off weapon against the problems. After the install
I launched the program and got the 101 error and message.
I would hope that MS would provide a tool that is
transparent to malware. I hope we get an answer to this
problem. It makes little sense to provide a rescue-like
tool that can only be installed on a "clean" PC. The
viruses and malware are desktophijack.b, msole32,
InProcSer32 error access denied (cannot install SP2), and
PSGUARD.exe disguising itself as an AV tool.
Regards,
Peter van Sprewenburg
