939373 issue: The service did not respond to the start or control

Hey folks

on XP Pro here (SP 2)

I have always had IIs started by default, but suddenly now i see my default
(and only) website is off. i get this message when trying to start it -

**"The service did not response to the start or control request in a timely
fashion"

running iisreset via Run > CMD gives me the following:

Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Restart attempt failed.
IIS Admin Service is disabled

So i went to Services, and IIS Admin Service is started. i restarted - and
still the same notice.

not sure if related, but World Wide Web Publishing seems to be stopped,
trying to restart it gives the following error -

**could not start remote installation service on local computer, error 127:
the specified procedure could not be found

Trying to uninstall/re-install FTP via Add/Remove Windows Components does
not change anything.

now , interestingly, somone mentioned the 939373 patch that was issued a few
days ago.

i tried UNINSTALLING it - and what do you know - my IIS and default web -
WORK!
but as soon as its installed again, they will not start, as above.



Any ideas what this can be?

RE: 939373 issue: The service did not respond to the start or control

I am having the exact same issue and it is driving me nuts. I can't run my
development applications because the web server just won't start up. I get a
not-responding error. Someone mentioned that it was a dll mismatch that the
patch caused.

I would think that a lot of people are experiencing this.

RE: 939373 issue: The service did not respond to the start or cont

yeah, someone mentioned that too, the mismatch issue.

arms....
