I have a legacy VB6 application that we are attempting to run on an RDP connection to a Windows 2008 Server. All of my other legacy applications seem to run fine, but this one fails. I've tried reinstalling the application from the Setup file, but it fails when it tries to register the file RESEDIT.DLL. I've attempted to register the file manually using regsvr32, but that just gives me the following error:
The module "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\RESEDIT.DLL" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005.
As I've researched this, I've found discussions about possible file dependency issues, but I've gone through every associated DLL in the setup package and they all register successfully. I've made certain that I'm running the regsvr32 from an elevated command prompt, but it always comes up with the same error.
We installed the application on a Windows 7 VM, and it installed without error. The RESEDIT.DLL file apparently registered successfully, and the application comes up without error. However, running the application from the Windows Server 2008 system continues to throw errors. It started with an error that says "Out of Memory" (Error #7), but now I'm getting one that says "ActiveX component can't create object" (Error #429), probably due to the different troubleshooting steps we've followed so far.
Does anyone know how to get RESEDIT.DLL to install and correctly register on Windows Server 2008?

I have been using this same project for years without having this issue. Suddenly it happens every time I first boot my PC.
If I go into the log, this is the error I get:
Failed to register URL "http://localhost:50496/" for site "FMSProd(1)" application "/". Error description: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (0x80070020)
Running command prompt as administrator and running "net stop winnat" followed by "net start winnat" fixes the issue until the next boot. But I have to do it every time I reboot.
I have traced the process using that port, it's devenv(visual studio). Version of visual studio does not matter. Changing the port number on the project does not fix it.
Is there anything I can do to fix this and prevent it from recurring every single reboot?
I am developing a kernel mode driver for Windows 10 and I am stuck on the service start it always gave me this error:
"0x2 The system cannot find the path specified"
to install it I have tried by the following ways:
Using "sc create svname binpath="pathtodriver" type=kernel".
Creating a service from my c++ a`` with CreateService API and Kernel Mode flag.
Both return the same error for me, but here's the most stranger thing looks I have a desktop (from I am writing this and I develop my apps, study etc) in this desktop I can install the driver without any problem using both ways, Now on my laptop what I use to test some of my software it installed the first time and after that I couldn't start anymore the driver service, the path is correct
I have checked it a lot of times and tried almost everything.
Also I have other Kernel Mode driver which loads on both computers anytime without any problem its stranger really i have been trying all...
What I have tried to solve this problem:
Deleting the service from sc using "sc delete svname".
Deleting the service directly from registry.
Restoring registry.
Repairing windows.
Installing almost every Visual C++ Runtimes.
Install the driver with another service name, file name and different path.
Nothing of the list solves my problem.
(I am on Test Signing to test my driver without DSE)
EDIT: Solved was my DriverEntry it was returning 0x2 cause it was not compatible with all optical devices.
I am using 0mq with clr binding - version 3.2.2 - on Windows OS. On one particular Windows 7 64-bit system, 0mq always fails at the time of creation of a new Context. I initially thought it had something to do with windows services / IIS but it fails even for a simple console application
Error message below
Assertion failed: Connection timed out (..\..\..\signaler.cpp:260)
External component has thrown an exception.
Last error code (I am calling GetLastError from C#) is 10060 (which is connection tiemout)
Code below
var ctx = new Context(1);
I have checked the following links and tried the suggestions but no luck

Calling Win32 CreateEvent() fails from an IIS 7.5 web application
I have tried the following
Used dependencychecker and ensured all referenced DLLs are present
Ensured VC++ 2010 runtime is installed
The account under which the console application ran has administrator privileges and I also gave explicit permissions to create global objects (one of the suggestions) in user account management
I am baffled by this bug. 0mq has worked great so far and I wanted to deploy it on a larger scale. Now this error is giving me second thoughts on the same. Any help will be greatly appreciated
It looks to me like your app isn't finding the appropriate ZMQ DLL. A couple things to check:
Make sure that libzmq.dll is in the same directory as your exe.
Make sure that you know whether libzmq.dll is 32 or 64 bit.
Make sure that you've explicitly specified an architecture in your C# Project File (either x86 or x64, not AnyCPU), and that the architecture you pick matches the architecture of the libzmq.dll file you're using.
I have made an application in visual studio 2010 on a windows xp computer. When I compile the release version and run it on a windows xp computer, it runs fine.
When I on the other hand try to run it on windows 7 I get the "This program has stopped working" error message. Running the application in compatibility mode doesn't change anything. Can someone tell me what I can try to do?
Thanks.
With the information you provide, it might be a windows 7 vs xp problem or that you don't find any resource that you are looking for. If I were you I would:
Get sure that app was compiled by any cpu
Check windows error log to see if there is any message
Run app as administrator
Use error handling (try/catch) to see exceptions by showing them in UI or logging to a text file.
EDITED: TRY-CATCH example
Try
//CODE
Catch ex As Exception
Dim writer As New StreamWriter("C:\MyLog.log", True, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
writer.WriteLine(ex.Message)
writer.Close()
End Try
I ran across this issue also. As my solution was completely different, I thought I would share just in case someone else found it relevant.
My problem was that in my project references I had two references to Adobe Acrobat DLL files. I was getting the error on my new client machine because it didn't have Adobe Reader installed (which installs the DLL's that my project references). Once I installed Adobe Reader, my program installed properly.
The interesting part of debugging this is that no TRY/CATCH block would have caught it. Apparently the check for reference happens before the code is run. You literally just get the generic message "ProgramName has stopped working".
Just FYI...
I suddenly cannot start IIS anymore on my Windows 2008 R2 server. The depending "Windows Actication Service" does not start.
In the Event Viewer I can see the following message:
"The Windows Process Activation Service failed to generate an application pool config file"
I've checked all IIS config files for typo's, none can be found.
I've tried to remove the IIS role from the server, which results in an error.
I'm totally desperate here. I've looked on Google for several hours, but none of the suggestions I've found helped.
Something has messed up permissions and the user account under which WAS runs does not have permission to create its working files. Probably you installed a service pack or similar.
Rebuild the box and apply all service packs to Windows before you install WAS, and then let it update itself and then install your own stuff.
Rebuilding boxes is no fun and takes far too long. Learn to use virtualisation and undo disks.
If you have another working server, you can import IIS configuration from there via Shared Configuration. I was able to resolve this error by doing so.
