PRB: Incorrect Type Name Causes Problems Using Resource Types (182658)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
This article was previously published under Q182658 SYMPTOMS
If you register a resource type DLL with the cluster using a different type
name than you specify in the DLL itself, you might experience one or more
of the following problems:
- The Cluster Administrator reports that an error occurred trying to
read the properties of the resource type.
- The Administrator extension for the DLL cannot be registered because
the type name is not found.
Possible error messages include one of the following:
The system cannot find the file specified.
The data is invalid.
CAUSE
Because a resource type DLL can support more than one resource type, the
name of the resource type is supplied to the DLL upon startup. If the name
is not recognized, you may write the DLL so that the startup will fail.
In the case of the extension DLL, it looks explicitly for the type name
supplied when the DLL was created.
RESOLUTION
Make sure the type name used to register a resource type and the type name
used internally in the DLL match.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
