| Well, I'd say you've got a buggy component there, and you should probably uninstall it or get a patch for it.Did any of this start failing after recently installing some new web application? |

| Nothing I can recall, new revision of Norton AV ver 2005. That's it.Here's a long thread on the problem. |

With much tedium, I managed to reinstall COM+ without errors.New problem now. IIS fails with an Application error and a different event log entry:quote:
The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/Root/dlax20'. The error was 'No such interface supported'.

| One of the replies in that thread seems to point to WinXP SP2 as the culprit. Is that what you're running? If so, yeah, I can see it causing all kinds of shit with IIS. |

| I've been running SP2 since it was released. It may be the culprit, but it's a latecomer. Meanwhile my diagnosis so far is ... I'M HOSED !I'll drag my feet rebuilding this desktop. It takes about a full day to get it up and running properly. It may be time to try to restore a full backup over this system.Sam |

| As a last resort, I disabled Norton AV and got a plesant surprise. IIS is running without errors now.Enabled Norton to investigate which switch was killing IIS, strange, IIS runs fine with Norton AV, same switch settings.The IIS application failure remains a mystery to me. Makes me wonder if code complexity will grow to the point where no single engineer/company will be able to debug it eventually. It'll require cross-teaming efforts among multiple mega-microsoft-symantec-megacompany teams to identify bugs by mid-21st century. |

| My experience with Norton stuff has been decidely negative, mixed at best. I don't think their reputation or skill made the transition to Windows, as I've never found anything after their utilities for DOS to be worthwhile. There's definitely some problems there, almost as if MS specifically made Windows impossible for Norton to exploit like they were able to with DOS. I have the AV at home, but only because I got it free from work. And while it does a good job keeping viruses out of the system, some of the features (realtime scan especially) are more trouble than they're worth. And even before I watched a friend spend several hours unsuccessfully trying to uninstall part of Norton Security, I decided I will never use any of their products except AV. |

| I haven't had a problem since I disabled Norton AV, rebooted, then enabled Norton AV.I can't explain the solution, but it isn't broken any longer.Sam |
