Hi, I have a service running on Windows 2003 Server. This service

sometimes just crashes.

Nothing really being shown in the event logs except for an error

message related to that service crashing that says:

"Instrumentation Directory is invalid or Missing - Closing

Application"

 

Does anyone have any idea what this might mean?

 

Thanks!

Hello cc77lemon@gmail.com,

 

What kind of application are you using? Did you talk to the support form

them?

 

Best regards

Service runs in the background and maintains a connection over TCP/IP

with it's counterpart service running on another machine. Service

should not be dropping. So trying to find out what the Event Log

message above might mean. Thanks..

This is all it says..

 

"Instrumentation Directory is invalid or Missing - Closing

Application"

At first I thought it was related to WMI, but after checking it wasn't.

Re: Service Dropping with "Instrumentation Directory" error.

 

Hello cc77lemon@gmail.com,

 

This was your statement "So trying to find out what the EVENT LOG message

above might mean".

 

So if this is from the EVENTLOG please post the complete event log entry,

on the properties of the event you have a 2 paper button in the right corner,

click it and paste iot to the posting directly. So the complete error message,

including event id and source, etc. is copied to the posting.

 

Best regards
