I'm running a Dell Latitude D800 with Windows XP SP2.  I receive the error
code after install completes and every time I try to start mswmc.exe.  I've
made sure all the depenent services are started.

The Message Box with the error code says "An error occurred while starting
Windows Media Connect.  Try starting Windows Media Connect again.  Error Code
= 0x80010119"

I have some additional information.  In a subsequent post Alan Ludwig
suggested downloading from the Media Connect home page versus using the
Windows Update download.

I removed the Windows Media Connect where the service would not start and
reloaded using the Media Connect download.  Now the two Media Connect
services start but I get the same message box listed in my previous post.  I
also ran the C:\>sc qc wmccds command and received the following information:

C:\>sc qc wmccds
[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: wmccds
       TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
       START_TYPE         : 3   DEMAND_START
       ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
       BINARY_PATH_NAME   : c:\program files\windows media
connect\mswmccds.exe

       LOAD_ORDER_GROUP   :
       TAG                : 0
       DISPLAY_NAME       : Windows Media Connect (WMC)
       DEPENDENCIES       : RPCSS
                          : UPNPHOST
                          : WmcCdsLs
       SERVICE_START_NAME : NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService

So, I'm still stumped but making progress.  Alan, any advice you can give me
from here?

0x80010119 -- The dreaded "Security must be initialized before any
interfaces are marshalled or unmarshalled"

I think at this point you're probably going to have to wait for v2.  
There is a race condition related to v1's use of .NET on top of some of
the other components that we use.  There is a very small minority of
people who hit this, but they seem to hit it consistantly.  Our only
reliable repro of this bug was achieved bu running a Danish language
version of Windows on a virtual PC.  A fairly contrived scenario.

The last person who I helped with this problem was hitting it on a dual-
proc hyper-threaded machine. One theory that he helped me work through
was that we could get the problem to go away by turning off
hyperthreading.  Unfortunatly, it didn't help.  I didn't have the heart
to ask him to disable the additional CPU and turn off hyperthreading to
see if going back to a single CPU and a single active thread ended the
race condition.  I'd still be interested in hearing the outcome of that
experiement.  However, the answer would only be academic as we aren't
going to be putting out a patch for v1 to fix this issue.

We did try to do the investigation on equivalent hardware to look for a
workaround. I was never able to repro the problem either. <sigh>.

It won't be possible for v2 to have this problem.  I can't say exactly
why until we make more broad announcements about the v2 release (sorry).  
When we get ready to do the v2 beta, I'll post an announcement here
looking for volunteers to participate in the beta.  I'd be particulary
interested in having some of the folks who were affected by this bug
take part in the beta.

Sorry,

After reading your response I decided to uninstall WMC, .NET, the .NET
security fix and IIS and reinstall everything in the proper order.  Believe
it or not WMC now starts normally and everything works as advertised.  

I must have configured some security setting in a way that disagreed with a
WMC dependent service.  

Thanks for the help.

I've had people uninstall WMC and .NET in order to work on this problem.  
I'd never considered having someone uninstall IIS, since (I thought
anyway)  IIS was unreated.

So, it seems you've found a workaround worth trying if I see this
problem again (and someone else will eventually report it).

Why did you think to uninstall IIS? What is the "propper order" to
reinstall the three?

Anxiously awaiting the response,

Alan,

I work with a development team that does a lot of .NET smart client and rich
Internet application development.  We have found (and I believe Microsoft
recommends) that you must install IIS first, then the .NET Framework and then
development tools like Visual Studio .NET and other applications that use
.NET.  If you don't follow this order then Web Services can't be found via
their WSDL's from a .NET client.

By reinstalling IIS, .NET and WMC I must have corrected some security
setting on my laptop that I somehow corrupted.

Hi Alan,
i have this error too. I can't go out of this problem...
I've just compiled the survey on the Beta place.
Is there the possibility to download the 2.0 Beta?

Many thanks i.a.
