Hi, I have a service running on Windows 2003 Server. This service
sometimes just crashes.
Nothing really being shown in the event logs except for an error
message related to that service crashing that says:
"Instrumentation Directory is invalid or Missing - Closing
Application"

Does anyone have any idea what this might mean?

Thanks!

Hello cc77lemon@gmail.com,

What kind of application are you using? Did you talk to the support form
them?

Best regards

Service runs in the background and maintains a connection over TCP/IP
with it's counterpart service running on another machine. Service
should not be dropping. So trying to find out what the Event Log
message above might mean. Thanks..

Hello cc77lemon@gmail.com,

Please post the complete error message form the event viewer.

Best regards

This is all it says..

"Instrumentation Directory is invalid or Missing - Closing
Application"
At first I thought it was related to WMI, but after checking it wasn't.

Hello cc77lemon@gmail.com,

You said in the event log you saw the error message or did i misunderstand
you?

This IS the error message: "Instrumentation Directory is invalid or
Missing - Closing
Application"

Hello cc77lemon@gmail.com,

This was your statement "So trying to find out what the EVENT LOG message
above might mean".

So if this is from the EVENTLOG please post the complete event log entry,
on the properties of the event you have a 2 paper button in the right corner,
click it and paste iot to the posting directly. So the complete error message,
including event id and source, etc. is copied to the posting.

Best regards
