Hello,

If you do not have the WINS Service installed, I do not see how you could get that error message. WINSCTRS.DLL is basically WINS performance counters.

I would recommend verifying WINS is in fact not installed by right-clicking Network Neighboor hood, hit properties. Click on the Services tab and make sure you *dont* see "Windows Internet Name Service" .
If you actually do need WINS(not unusual for a BDC), it just needs to be configured properly.
If you have checked and the service reallyis not installed(and is not present in the services list under control panel/Services) I would rename or move the WINSCTRS.DLL file which will be found in %systemroot%/system32 .You may have to unregister it first. (regsvr32 -u winsctrs.dll from command prompt).
After that, it would be a good idea to reapply SP5 or 6, whichever you are using.
