So sorry for all the difficulties, but thank you for your help with all this. -- Dave    Report

The only new peice of information I can get from the latest results is that the "WinMgmt" service is some how involved. So, can you ensure that the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service is running on your system? However, disabling this service on my system does not trigger the "Provider Load Failure" message. I'm rapidly running out of ideas, as a last ditch atempt, we can go back to my original assumption. Maybe the sequence in which the .Net Famework versions have been installed has caused this problem. Re-installing the latest .Net version (3.5) may help by updating the mysterious registry keys to the correct configuration. Also, does your event log contain any helpful, detailed error messages that might shed some light on this? Crispin. "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness"    Report

I'll just live with it. Thanks for all your help, though.  I'm impressed by your attention to this matter. -- Dave    Report

We are having the problem, and of course on the PC that needs it the most. I was hoping you guys could trace the error. (Our solution currently is to have the taskboard running on a server, and use a RemoteDesktop to this server. I hope i'm not violating the licence...)

It now includes a vbscript that you can run in order to re-register the "System.Management" dlls that appear to have been broken by the 3.5 framework release. Please review: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb961987.aspx Hopefully, this indicates that Microsoft have identified the problem. Regards, Crispin Parker, Technical Consultant, Conchango.

I will forward the updated page to my co-worker. Perhaps we can throw an half hour at it next week. "Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real." - Jules Verne.    Report

Thanks again for your help. --  Dave    Report

(including Microsofts KB article). All of the various re-registration mechanisms executed successfully, but I still get the provider error. Also, I am an administrator on my machine and I do not see anything in the local security policy that would interfere with this mechanism. Is there a setting I should be looking for?    Report

11-24-2008, 4:29 Crispin Parker Joined on 11-13-2007 Posts 951 Re: Beta 3 - Provider load failure NOOOOO Unknown on a possible security policy that might cause this problem. As stated, this error cannot be re-created in any of our test environments and (as you can see from my above posts) I have tried very hard! Is this problem common to all machines in your company (do you have access to another machine?) or just your own? If it occurs on all machines, then I would expect that there is a common group policy setting at the root, if it is just your machine then I'm kind of out of ideas! The symptoms of this condition are that the built in WIM test tool also fails to work. I made an asumption above that the sequence of .Net framework instalation may have been a contributing factor, but this has yet to be proven. It may be worth while running the wim test appliction while monitoring with ProcessMonitor (Sys Internals / Microsoft). This may highlight which assembles are being accessed when the error occurs.
