SYMPTOMS
When you install SQLXML 3.0, or SQLXML 3.0 Service Pack 1 on a computer that is running Windows NT 4.0 (or any service pack for Windows NT 4.0), and you start Performance Monitor, and then try to add a performance counter, you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
The SQLXML performance counter has an built-in dependency on several Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) files. It tries to load these files from the directories that are registered in the PATH environment variable. However, by default, the PATH environment variable does not contain the directory that contains these files.
RESOLUTION
Add C:\Program Files\Common\System\Ole DB to the PATH environment variable.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
When you run any other application that enumerates the performance counters on the system, you may receive error messages that are similar to the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section of this article. For example, if you use Performance Monitor from a remote computer, the error occurs for Winlogon.exe on the target computer, and Performance Monitor stops responding on the remote computer.
Additional query words: msdatl3.dll, perfmon, winlogon
