Problem with Sims Error?

[Disease]

Hi there guys and Gals

 

I am getting the following sims error on certain machines, bit of background.

 

We are running sims through a vlan to access our admin network from our curriculum one. The Admin drive is mapped for the curriculum machines and the share works. On some machines when we go to run Sims we get this error

 

"The dependency service or group failed to start [exception from HRESULT - Blahblah] : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

 

Anyone with more knowledge about sims able to shed some light on a possible cause please

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, this Capita Knowledge Base article may be of help.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

 

Type= System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

 

ErrorCode -2147023828

 

The dependency service or group failed to start.

 

Advice

 

1. Uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework - this can be found in Add / Remove programs in the control panel. Click on Remove to uninstall

 

2. Run the application DOTNETFX.EXE which is located in (in most cases) S:\SIMS\SETUPS - this will re-install Microsoft .NET Framework.
