DLL Locked whn run as service.

Hi All,

I had a weird problem like I run my application as service(Automatic) on WIN2k,and when I reboot my m/e the application is running fine as service..automatically.
But for some reason..it's locking the DLL's that it is using....I cannot run any other application that share the same DLL'/s.it gives the error 0x0000142(which is ERROR_DRIVE_BUSY).

can somebody throw some light on the problem.

Thanks a million in advance.

Leo.

0x0000142 is *NOT* 'ERROR_DRIVE_BUSY', which is '142' in decimal. Your error code is 322d, and there's no corresponding Win32 error code - where do you get it from?

jkr

Well, it's more likely to be

//
// MessageId: STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED
//
// MessageText:
//
// {DLL Initialization Failed}
// Initialization of the dynamic link library %hs failed. The process is terminating abnormally.
//
#define STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED ((NTSTATUS)0xC0000142L)

Could you paste the code of your 'DllMain()'?

Sorry, this should of course be

"Could you post the code of your 'DllMain()'?"

:o)

Yeah...the message is 0xc0000142..."the application failed to initialize".
You are right..JKR..I was looking at the wrong message...
The DLL is the "FOXDLL"...which I use for building the UserInterface.

So, could you post the code of your 'DllMain()' function?

Without that, we could just guess...

BTW: An option might be to set a specific user account for your service (other than 'LocalSystem', which is used by default). You can set that in your service's options in the MMC.

Well, anything new?

Thanks,
Leo
