Chrism1367 0 Posted January 12, 2006 Hi I'm new to this forum but I thought this would be the best place to post this question. I have Windows XP Home SP2 and there is a service named "Application Management" listed in the services menu, but according to Microsoft this service isn't supported in Windows XP Home Edition only XP Pro. I get errors in the Event Viewer/System logs. It's hard to narrow down what I am running at the time the error occurs. Has anyone had this problem, and if so is there a fix for this? Also why do I have this service if it isn't supported in XP Home? Any help/fix would be appreciated. BTW, Microsoft's site said it is a known issue and in order to get support I have to pay for it. Thats not gonna happen. Anyway thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted January 12, 2006 Someone might be able to help you if you would specify what you are talking about. What are the errors you get by viewing your system logs? What article in Microsoft's site are you referring to? As to Application Management that refers to services.exe and svchost.exe in your task manager. Share this post Link to post

However, the registry setting that disables this service is not configured correctly in Windows XP Home Edition. Therefore, the Add Program routine tries to find the Appmgmt.dll file. When the Add Program routine cannot find the Appmgmt.dll file, the entry appears in the system log. Copy these lines to notepad, save the file as disableappmgmt.reg, doubleclick the file and answer Yes: Quote: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppMgmt] "Start"=dword:00000004 This disables the Application Management service.

Chrism1367 0 Posted January 13, 2006 To Wilhelmus How in the hell did you figure that out? I've been googling forever and at microsoft came to a dead end with their "pay us and we will tell you how to fix it" answer. Any way thanks for that invaluable info. Much appreciated.

veysternator 0 Posted January 15, 2008 When I copied and pasted the code and tried to run it, I got an error that said ""the specified file is not a registry script. you can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor." What can I do? Thanks Share this post Link to post
fjordthehun 0 Posted January 19, 2008 You will get this error if you're using Win XP. I had to manually go into the registry editor to stop this app management. To do this... Start > run > regedt32 Then open up the corresponding classes... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppMgmt] So, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > AppMgmt Once in there, go to the start label in the panel on the right, and edit the value from 3 to 4.
