RPC Locator service

Featured Replies

Is RPC Locator a service in XP64? My install does not show it as a service.

You should indeed see it as "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" in the list.

Thanks for your reply, Any idea in how to fix it then?

Was this XP x64 source modified in any way before you installed it, or was this installed straight from a Windows CD?

It was modified and downloaded from a net server then saved to CD and installed.

Wouldn't really know where to begin, then. The RPC Locator service uses %systemroot%\system32\locator.exe, which relies on advapi32.dll, kernel32.dll, msvcrt.dll, and ntdll.dll at the bare minimum. You also would need the registry entries under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RPCLocator to actually see / interact with the service as well.

I would instead suggest using a legit copy of Windows instead of hacking with an illegal copy downloaded from the 'net, which also violates board rules discussing warez.

It's not an illegal copy, it's a legit license, just modified so it will fit on a cd instead of a dvd.

Is the service there on a clean media install? If you used nlite or similar, we should probably move this there.
