SYMPTOMS
When you modify a port that you have saved previously, and you specify a Custom envelope for the port, when you attempt to save the port, the following error message occurs:

The message port could not be saved.

Error 0xC0C012CB: If the envelope format for the messaging port is set to Custom, a class identifier (CLSID) for the serializer component must be specified.



CAUSE
This error message is valid because a channel exists for the port that has no serializer component, and the envelope on the port is Custom. When the channel is originally created, you must specify the serializer component at that time. Because the Custom envelope was added to the port after the channel was created, there is no serializer associated with the channel.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, do the following:
 * 1) Remove the Custom envelope from the port and save the port.
 * 2) Delete the channel associated with the port.
 * 3) Modify the port and associate the Custom envelope with the port.
 * 4) Save the port.
 * 5) Re-create the channel. At the end of the Channel Wizard, click Advanced, click the Envelope tab, and then select the appropriate serializer.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
