When I go into the IMC for Proxy Server 2.0 on NT 4.0, IIS 4 and right click on either Web Proxy or Winsock proxy and try to goto properties, I get the following error. "The system cannot find the file specified"

Has anyone ever seen this?

what is the eventid (you should have error message when booting.), if any ?
I solved it once by , reinstalling the sp1 of proxy server or sp6a of nt server.

option 2 to reinstall the proxyserver (you would not loose any information) would be tobackup the configuration and option three would be to back up the configuration, uninstall proxy, install proxy and restore the configuration.

Greetings,

This problem happens when Proxy Host for Windows NT fails to start and displays the message Error #0002: The System cannot find the file specified.

The System Event Log has an entry from the Service Control Manager with the message The Proxy Host Service service failed to start due to the following error: The System cannot find the file specified.

This error can occur if the Host Service file (PH32SVC.EXE) has been deleted, moved or the image path for the Service is wrong. By default the file is placed in the following path:
Program Files\Funky Software\Proxy32

The solution is to either:

(1) Uninstall Proxy Host, and reinstall , or try and locate the PH32SVC.exe on the Hard drive, or

(2) Run REGEDIT, the Registry Editor, and locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
ProxyHostService

When that key is selected in the tree-view on the left, the right panel will show several values, including one named ImagePath. Double-click on the name ImagePath to open up the Edit String dialog. The value of the ImagePath entry is the full path name to the Proxy Host Service program file.

Example

C:\Program Files\Funky Software\Proxy32\PH32SVC.EXE
