SYMPTOMS
If you run the Visual Studio Analyzer on the Windows XP operating system, the time and date fields of COM+ events that are collected by the Analyzer may contain incorrect information or the fields may be blank.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
To reproduce the problem, generate COM+ events for the Visual Studio Analyzer to collect. One way to do this is to run the COM+ Services sample. This sample is located in the Interop\Applications\ComServices directory of the .NET Framework SDK samples directory.

Note The path to this directory may vary. The following is a sample path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\FrameworkSDK\Samples\Technologies\Interop\Applications\ComServices To run the sample and collect the events, follow these steps:  Locate the Readme.htm file in the location of the COM+ Services sample. Open the file, and then perform all of the steps in &quot;Preparing the Environment.&quot; Follow the steps to build the components and the sample. Do not run the sample yet. Open Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET). On the File menu, click New, point to Project, point to Other Projects, click Visual Studio Analyzer Projects, and then click Analyzer Wizard. Type a name for the project, click OK, and then click Next. In step 2 of the Wizard, click to clear all of the check boxes except COM+ Event source. Click Next twice, and then click Finish.  The Visual Studio Analyzer dialog box appears with the following message: <pre class="fixed_text">&quot;Recording Started&quot; </li> Leave the Analyzer running. Run the COM+ Services sample by following the &quot;Running The Sample&quot; steps in the Readme.htm file. Perform several of the credit transactions and transfer operations. Exit the sample.</li> Click Stop Recording in the Visual Studio Analyzer dialog box to stop the Analyzer project from recording events. In VS .NET, on the View menu, click Analyzer, and then click Event List. Note that the times and dates for events with the COM+ Event Source are not valid .</li></ol>
