Server service

Hi Everyone,

I've come across a really frustrating problem. I'm building an XPe image
that is a pretty functional subset of XP Pro, with Windows Explorer,
networking, File and Printer Sharing, etc. As I iterate through the various
problems with the image
(Autologin, etc), at some point, the Server service (svchost -k netsvcs)
gets broken,
and I get the following error when I try to start it:

"Could not start the Server service on Local Computer; Error 126: The
specified module could not be found."

The only solution I've found is to start over from scratch with a new SLX
file. I'm going through some checkpoints I made the last time, to see if I
can find where it broke. I tried removing a couple items from the netsvcs
registry field to see which one might be missing, but couldn't get the
service to start.

Has anyone had/solved this problem before?

David,

By any chance do you have "Credential Management User Interface" component in you image? If not, add it and resolve its
dependencies.
 
It turns out that this was caused by my having un-checked the Windows
Firewall component from the Core Networking settings. I did this in order to
eliminate
IPV6 from my runtime image.

In one of my early evaluation images, I was able to remove Windows
Components using the Control Panel Add/Remove dialog. I can't seem to
re-create this functionality. Does anyone know what components are necessary
to get this to work?
 
Sounds crazy, But I was getting this exact same error when my application
was trying to load before XPe was finished starting all the services.

I added some delay in there and it solved the problems. Slobodan gave me
the fix by using WaitNoPendingEvents ? Can't remember without looking it up
again.

Any way, may not be the same problem but I thought it wouldn't hurt to let
you know.

Is this XP embedded related question or something else?

If so, you'd probably want to give us a bit more details about the issue you are having and the image you are building.
