    Hi

    I just installed SyncToy 2.0 for the first time and it worked without problems. But when I try to create a new folder pair using the button at the bottom I get the following error message:

    "Entry Point Not Found"
    "The procedure entry point TraceMessage could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll."

    And then in a second dialog:

    "Error"
    "The required Microsoft Sync Framework components for SyncToy cannot be found. Please re-run SyncToy 2.0 setup from the original location."

    If I use the link on top, I can browse the folders, choose the type and get then the following error:

    "Error"
    "Failed to create folder pair. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {565AEDBF-3108-4405-AF1F-9C2C25925DAE} failed due to the following error: 8007007f."

    I'm on Windows 2000 SP4.

    I've re-installed the packages several times but nothing helped. Any ideas what I need to install additionally?

    I am having a similar problem while running SyncToy 2.0 on Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I was able to run SyncToy just once - after I first installed it. After that I keep getting an error message and an entry in the log file every time I am trying running it:

    *** The required Microsoft Sync Framework components for SyncToy cannot be found. Please re-run SyncToy 2.0 setup from the original location.

     

    I tried to re-install SyncToy as suggested - the problem stays the same. I uninstalled and re-installed it again - no results.

    Please advice.

     

    Thanks,

    I installed this Sync Toy on all my computers and it worked fine up until I installed it to a Windows 2000 Server. I get the error "the procedure entry point tracemessage could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll" when I open the program and want to create my first pair of folders. I also got the second dialog message box as well.

    Thanks for any solutions.

    I believe your problem has already been addressed.

    why does it not say this on the MS download screen and why does the installer not point this minor issue out when you install it.
