The Voodoo XP error you cant fix . RDP / MSTSC.exe - cannot find <LANG_NAME>\mstsc.exe.MUI

0

I keep getting the error

cannot file C:\Windows\System32\<LANG_NAME>\mstsc.exe.MUI

I do have this path

 C:\Windows\System32\US_en

and this one too

C:\Windows\System32\en

and I made sure the mstsc* files are there in each of these folders I look up regedit to see if it helps --is mstsc.exe.MUI wrongly referred in path . Nope -- is LANG_NAME variable referred . Nope

reinstalled RDP 7 via WindowsXP-KB969084-x86-enu.exe . Several times

MSTSC does not have a command line switch that will help override the path of mstsc.exe.mui and other other mstsc* file needed.

I looked up all the antics carried out to solve the problem including reseting IE settings to default. NOPE - nothing worked.

I think its not able to make sense of LANG_NAME. I created this as system variable and also included path to the mstsc* files into PATH. Still no idea I only found this value in regedit and it seems its correctly valued

MUIVerb @C:\WINDOWS\system32\en-US\mstsc.exe.mui,-4002

to me it looks like does not come from path logic or regedit but from mstsc itself...but how and where it is looking for lang_name

I suggest using ProcessMonitor and looking up at the process what exactly it is trying to load. An easy way to do this is start MSTSC under WinDbg (so it breaks on start), start ProcessMonitor, filter for the proper process ID, press g in WinDbg and watch ProcessMonitor to see what the process is trying to read :) – cdavid – 2015-02-12T18:37:09.947

Its a process if it runs !. This error wont let it run , period – user1874594 – 2015-02-13T01:49:55.260

If you open it under debugger (WinDbg) as I mentioned above, the process will start and break immediately. This will allow you to turn ProcessMonitor and monitor the process (the process does exist). Alternatively, you can use ProcessMonitor and filter by process name for mstsc.exe – cdavid – 2015-02-13T17:04:25.680
