COM+ Re-install

[System Administrator]

Have two machines that stopped working the same way on the same day.

VSS in both machines stopped working and NTBackups stopped as a

result. VSS service will not start on either machine. Research

indicated that COM+ probably had to be reinstalled.



Upon trying to re-install COM+ following KB315296 I receive the

following error while performing the Windows Components, Next

procedure: Error in

f:\xpsp3\com\com1x\src\comsvcs\events\lcedisp.cpp(131), hr = 80040206:

Failed to CoCreate EventSystem object.



I do have an F drive, but that folder is not present. My OS is at

SP3, from an SP3 update CD.



How do I get around this error or obtain the needed files?



Thanks.

I have succeeded in re-installing COM+. I began the installation of

SP3 from the CD and stopped it after it had written data to the F

drive. I then tried the re-installation procedure for COM+ and it

worked.



However, I am still getting VSS errors. When I attempt to run

"vssadmin list writers" I receive "Error: 0x8000fff".



Upon Windows restarts the Event Viewer shows two VSS events:



Application: Event ID 5, Source VSS

Volume Shadow Copy Service initialization error: the COM classes

cannot be registered [0x80004015].



System: Event ID 7024, Source Service Control Manager

The Volume Shadow Copy service terminated with service-specific error

2147500053 (0x80004015).



I have been searching for corrective action for these errors but have

not been successful. Any ideas?



Thanks!
