This article was previously published under Q124653 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to view an event detail generated by the source Windows
Internet Name Service (WINS) Event Viewer on a system that does not have
WINS installed, you may the following error message appears:
The description for Event ID <xxxx> in Source WINS could not be found.
The <xxxx> variable represents the valid Event ID number.
CAUSE
Event Viewer uses WINSEVNT.DLL provided by the WINS service to map the
Event ID to a detailed text message. If the WINS service is not installed,
Event Viewer fails to map the Event ID.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, expand WINSEVNT.DDL_ from the Windows NT Serve
version 3.5 installation media to the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 subdirectory
as WINSEVNT.DLL.
