UPnP Hosting service not starting (error 1083)

[solomani]

Hi guys,
I am trying to get media sharing working between WMA 11 and my 360. Now I
have done this before and I know what to do. However this time I had two
services missing that are required - SSDP and UPnP hosting. I used sa create
for SSDP, imported the registry info from the PC with the service and the
related dll's and it worked fine after that.

However the same process doesnt work with the UPnP service. When I try to
start it I get "error: 1083 the executable program that this service is
configured to run in doe not implement the service".

No idea what that means apart from something is probably missing. Google
hasnt been helpful and neither has MS. So can anyone tell me what this error
may mean and how to fix it? Or what process to follow to create the service?

According to MS UPnP can be added and removed via the control panel. I can
see the serives on the working PC but not on the balked one.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

If your router doesn't support UPnP, no matter what you do on the PC side is
going to help. Check the documentation for the router or contact their
support section for assistance.

Hi Chris,
Its not the router as:

A) it worked on my previous build for 8 months.
B) it works from my laptop and second PC fine.

Thanks,
