Setup Error: Failed to load resources from resource file

[Benoit Drebet]

I have a service installed for some times now, running
24/7 (at least until now ...) and this morning I got this
error in my event log:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET
Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not
have the necessary registry information or message DLL
files to display messages from a remote computer. The
following information is part of the event: .NET Runtime
version 1.1.4322.573- Setup Error: Failed to load
resources from resource file
Please check your Setup.

It caused my service to crash. I did some research in
several newsgroup (since the log doesn't really help to
find the source of the problem) and I found many people
facing this problem in different contexts but no
solution. Sometimes it seems to be OS related,
sometimes .Net framework versions related, culture
related, binding related, polling related ...

Does anybody have any clue of the reason this error shows
up?

Could it be a bug in my code that turns bad ? In that
case where should I have a look first (of course I can't
reproduce the error, would be too easy ...).

Is it more likely to be a .Net 1.1 bug going to be fix
(seems to be what everybody think)?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

I started getting this error message today as well. Our web
application has been running 24/7 for several months now without any
problems. This morning, we suddenly started receiving the same error
you posted. If anyone has found the cause of this, please reply.
IISRESET seems to fix the problem temporarily.

Ditto that. App was working fine, now I'm getting the following events
as the app hangs:

Same problem here guys...any solution? What are the commonalities?
Do you all have Windows 2003? Are any of you running .Net Framework
1.0 on top of 1.1? If so this could be related.

This is a free file monitoring tool
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml),
I would recommend downloading it and watching what the service is
doing to the hard drive, i.e. open,close,create, etc... and you will
see if it is getting any ACCESS DENIEDs because I was. It is pretty
enlightening and should hopefully help you out a bit.

IIS 6.0
Windows 2003 Server

Framework 1.1.4322.573

we have multiple servers that work fine.. but this one server is being
dumb.

Time to re-install I think.

Here I wrote a program running as service written with C# under .Net
framework 1.1, windows 2003, and unexpectedly got this error, also
lead to my program crash, with the following message in the windows
event log. ".NET Runtime version 1.1.4322.573- Setup
Error: Failed to load resources from resource file Please check your
Setup."

I have no clue about how lead to this severe problem occur and lead to
my service stopped forcibly by windows.

In my program, I use socket and ado.net, And I closed ado.net
connection pool option.


who can give me any advice~~~ thanks in advance.

Any solutions to this? My app WAS working for months... this is so
fluke!

I had a similar error in my asp.net application, that came up
during development. In my case the problem was caused by a
programming error: I had an asp.net page that created a thread
and was waiting for it to complete, but the thread was stuck in
a function that was calling itself in an infinite recusion...

Your error log might have additional info, In my
%SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\HTTPERR\httperr1.log, I got
"Connection_Abandoned_By_AppPool" 5 times, then the application
shuts down.

If you saw "QueueFull" in the error log, there's some more
information on that error here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;816995&Product=iis60

Also check your event log. My error showed up as:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime )
cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary
registry information or message DLL files to display messages
from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE=

Another option might be to debug the application using the IISState
debugging tool: http://www.iisfaq.com/default.aspx?view=P197

(My host: Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6, .NET runtime 1.1.4322.573)

FIX!!!!
--------

If these messages look familiar you may have a recursive function
error. I did, and it was the hardest thing to track down as the page
didn't load a single line, or through any meaningful data. Hope this
points you in the right direction, as you can tell this took me
forever to take the time to find it. I literally went line by line.

----------------------------

Error: The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for
Application Pool 'DefaultAppPool' because of the following error:
Could not create a Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool.
The data may have additional error codes..

I'm having exactly the same problems with Windows SBS 2003.. web sites
work for a while (~10 minutes) then unresponsive, or very very slow.

 

[Guest]

I noticed that running my application in debug mode this message disappears, but throw uncatcheable ExecutionEngineException exception at mscorlib.dl

I have detected that my application shows this message over some Windows Forms controls (ToolBar buttons and ListView)
For example, in the ListView control, when the user is resizing the columns and some event changes the content of a ListViewSubitem.
In the toolbar button, when the tooltip is visible and changes the button enable property, this message/exception is shown too

The message/exception is not thrown at the begin of execution, usually appears passed some minutes

And you can also get this error by attempting to access resources not
on your current user thread..

Same problem here "Setup failed to load resources from setup file" in desktop app

I'm getting this same problem on an application installed across four separate machines - they all report the same error. As others have mentioned though, this app was running for about two months constantly without problem and then one morning all four machines became unable to sustain more than two hours' worth of processing. My applications are vb.net desktop systems though - they have no interaction with asp.net in any way but they do occasionally use the httprequest objects to query web page content.

My application was originally a multi-threaded app but I've since pulled it back to the single main thread to rule that out, I've reinstalled the framework on each machine, service packed it (all done with virus-protection disabled this time around in case it was inhibiting the install).

Has anyone managed to find any common thread with this problem? I've been searching the newsgroups for months and it still looks like this problem is definitely caused by a something going wrong with the something

"Setup failed to load resources from setup file"

I still don't understand why THAT is the error message? There is no setup...there are no setup files...could it be something to do with the JIT compilation of the MSIL code or something? Could it be a failure to compile a function that's being called?
