PRB: Unable to Create DCOM User Account

• Microsoft Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you install Visual Studio Analyzer as part of Visual Studio Enterprise Edition setup, the following error message appears:

Setup was unable to create a DCOM user account in order to register C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\VS- ENT98\Vanalyzer\valec.exe.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by problems with the cryptography DLLs on Windows NT, which can be caused by applying a Service Pack to a system more than once.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, register the Rsabase.dll file as follows:

1. Open a command prompt.



2. Go to the c:\winnt\system32 directory.



3. Type regsvr32 rsabase.dll to register the DLL.



4. Rerun Setup.
