DTC Service could not be installed Denise 5/16/2007 10:06:01 PM Hi, I reformatted my computer. Everything went fine except I received a message that said that the DTC service could not be installed. What is DTC, is there a specific reason why it couldn't be installed, do I need it, and how can I get it to install? -- Denise ~ If you don't know where you came from, you won't know where you're going.

Re: DTC Service could not be installed Denise 5/17/2007 2:53:01 AM The link you gave me asked me for the information that I'm asking this forum. I don't have a server and I don't know what SQL is. I reformatted this drive 2 other times but never received this message. -- Denise ~ If you don't know where you came from, you won't know where you're going.

Re: DTC Service could not be installed "Colin Barnhorst" <colinbarharst[ at ]msn.com> 5/17/2007 3:30:41 AM SQL = Structured Query Language. Here is an article about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL It is database stuff and there is a version that does not require a server. It sounds like you have something on your computer that is trying to run but something is blocking a component it needs from starting. What have you installed on your computer in addition to the operating system?

Re: DTC Service could not be installed "Tony Sperling" <tony.sperling[ at ]dbREMOVEmail.dk> 5/17/2007 11:02:25 AM Yes, I know - On the one hand I'm sorry, on the other I'm not. There is a saying: "The really nice thing about politicians, is that you can instantly see when they are lying. It's when they move their lips!" In the same way, the nice thing about Services failing is that they almost invariably leave a message in Event Viewer, not every error will appear there but a Service error surely will, and that very nearly every single one of them are mentioned in the KnowledgeBase. Somewhere! Going there, is IT archeology, you look for something - anything that rings a bell (however vague) that resembles something that resembles something else wich you also are employing, although you may not be aware of it. That's the archeology part of it, you don't know what you are looking for. Often, the info is so vague you cannot extract anything useful, so the NG's are a good resource - personally, I have done a lot of re-formating in my day but I have never come across this message, or anything that resembles it. If I'm not mistaken, somewhere in there amoung the chaos there was some mentioning of Telephony Services, since you probably don't have any SQL perhaps this litterally rings the proverbial bell? But there is lots more where that came from. Actually, the DTC may well only be a symptom - the error you are trying to solve may be something entirely different, your LAN perhaps? I can really recommend getting to know the KB, it is chaotic since it lists everything under the sun, but sometimes it's the only resource that will set you off to what is mostly Serendipity anyway. The valuable part of Serendipity is that you can only find something if you are looking for something, and it doesn't matter what you are looking for. The activity of searching is a platform for finding and if you find it, you will not forget about it in many a good day. Don't judge me too harshly. Tony. . .

Re: DTC Service could not be installed Denise 5/18/2007 1:49:00 AM When I reformatted my hard drive, it erased everything that was on the drive. After I installed Windows, I received the message immediately. No other programs were installed at the time. I should have mentioned this in my original post . . . I have Windows XP Pro X64, SATA. It seems that this message has to do with networking, servers, etc, none of which I have. I Googled DTC Service but found nothing except technical journals, most of which had nothing to do with computers. If it has something to do with Telephony, Telephony is Started and on Manual. Two devices depend on Telephony . . . Remote Access Auto Connection Manager, which is Stopped and on Manual, and Remote Access Connection Manager, which is Started and on Manual. These settings are the default settings. I didn't change them. --- Denise ~ If you don't know where you came from, you won't know where you're going.

Re: DTC Service could not be installed Denise 5/18/2007 1:52:00 AM I can only say this about that . . . phooey! If worse comes to worse, I'll reformat it again. -- Denise ~ If you don't know where you came from, you won't know where you're going.

RE: DTC Service could not be installed Denise 5/18/2007 1:56:00 AM It seems that there's no known solution to this error message except for spending a astronomical amount of time tracking it down and fixing it.
