Hi
I get a blue screen when I boot with my bart cd
The message is as follows

Stop:c000007b {bad image}
The application or DLL \??\e:\i386\system32\RPCT4.DLL is not a valid windows image.
Please check this against your installation diskette.


I know the rpct4.dll is needed for internet? Does anyone have a clue what I can do please to get a working bart cd.

Try to build another iso file and burn it to a good quality CD. It could help.

Else if it doesn't work, tell us more about your configuration : what source are you building from? What hardware have you ?

Looks like a TYPO in a plugin.
Normally this command would be \\?\E:\i386\.... or \\??\\E:\i386\...
This is a workaround for limited pathname length.

If this is for a driver plugin following IMAGEPATH, you don't need the drive letter.

Look at this example taken from an early version of bootskin plugin.
0x1,"ControlSet001\Services\BootScreen","ImagePath","\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\vidstub.sys"

Finding the error...
Right click on your PLUGINS directory & choose SEARCH.

In the TEXT SEARCH BOX(not files box) enter RPCT4.DLL.

This will let you know what plugin is causing the problem.
Make sure you post back with what it was, as i'm sure someone else has this plugin also.

Hi and thanks for responding, I so badly want to make a disk but it’s killing me
Ok my pc is p4 with intel D865gbf MB im using XP pro with service pack 1 in it and my pc was upgraded to xp SP2.
My bart engine is in a folder on C: =
C:\bart\
My xp with sp1 is in folder in with bart =
C:\bart\XPSP1
Same goes for my plugging=
C:\bart\pluggins
I removed it all and did a fresh load of Bart with no plugging and a fresh load from my xp disk. I made a image ok with no errors and on boot of system it said once again Stop:c000007b {bad image}
The application or DLL \??\e:\i386\system32\RPCT4.DLL is not a valid windows image.
Please check this against your installation diskette.
The disk im using to burn have been from three different types of brand new blanks and on two different pc’s

So my image of xp must be funky … but I loaded my system with it only two days ago … no scratches ??????????????????????

Hi
I found this in the log file????
DecompressOrCopy file "C:\bart\plugin\patch_824146\files\xp\sp2\rpcrt4.dll" to "c:\pebldr\i386\system32\rpcrt4.dll"

Only problem is I don’t have a SP2? I will hunt for this and hope it’s not something else SP2 has done

either turn off the plugin or update the file that it requires.

This is the RPCSS Service Security Patch (KB824146) plugin for SP1. Read the .htm file in it's directory for information on how to use it.

Wow
I removed it as I haven’t loaded it with it’s bits yet ….. and it works……. I get a boot with no blue screen
Im so happy
Thank you all for your help …. Now all I need is a xp system that’s broke
