Re: Windows 2003 faxcomex api HEADACHE!!



Ok. Puzzle solved. I will try to explain the cause and the solution for
the ones that will encounter the same situation.

After a lot of searching and trying various methods to solve the
puzzle, I browsed into the c:\windows\system32 directory of the system
that throwed the com exception (Windows 2003 SP1 with automatic updates
on). There I found fxscomex.dll (280 KB). Ok

I had setup a Windows 2003 (not SP1) virtual machine, which my code
worked flowlessly, and browsed to its c:\windows\system32 directory.
There I also found fxscomex.dll (270 KB). Bingo!

Apparently the service pack or some of the subsequent updates that were
installed onto my "exception" machine, has altered or updated the
fxscomex.dll in a version that didn't work for me.

Well the guy in the post I put a link, has had the same problem and the
problem solved by installing SP1. My solution was the exact oposite.
Aka to revert to a previous version of fxscomex.dll

So if you encounter 0x800710D8 start playing arrount with fxscomex.dll
versions

Salut!

Fortunatelly that guy managed to overcome his difficulties.

Here's my situation:

The code that produces the error is in C#, Windows Forms Application,
on a Windows 2003 SP1 (automatic updates are enabled) machine. Here's
the code: http://pastebin.com/716208

The fax server is located on the same machine as the app. I reinstalled
the fax services several times with no luck.

When I call ConnectedSubmit I get error 800710D8, "Operation Failed".
The bizzare thing is that if I make a call to a remote fax server, this
error is not produced!

This is a true nightmare :((

Thanks in advance
