MSDTC problem after XPe cloning

[Gert Leunen]

Hi,

I've built an XPembedded (SP2) image that uses MSDE2000, so it includes
MSDTC, for manual cloning (so I have to invoke the reseal myself). MSDTC is
running successfully when I start that image (before resealing). So, now I
resealed the image for deployment and on the target systems, the msdtc
service fails to start, with the following entry in the event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSDTC
Event Category: (8)
Event ID: 4209
Date: 12/1/2005
Time: 2:21:34 PM
User: N/A
Computer: R-S812907BZLJKX
Description:
A critical error occurred in an MS DTC component therefore the process is
terminating. The category field identifies the component that encountered
the error. Please contact Microsoft Product Support. Error Specifics:
d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\dtc\dtc\msdtc\src\cservice.cpp:436, CmdLine:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdtc.exe, Pid: 2492
No Callstack (0)
Data:
0000: 46 00 11 80 F..?


So, I try to reinstall msdtc using msdtc -install -a, but this fails with
message entry in the event log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSDTC

Could not install the MS DTC service.

Here are the contents of dtcinstall.log:

Can anyone help me on this?

Ignore this post, I've traced back my steps and it was due to a third-party
installer.
