SSO Application Configuration .msc - Unable to load mmc and unable to uninstall/repair

This tool was installed on a QA server by an ex-employee and nobody knows for sure if it ever worked.  Attempting to uninstall/repair fails with below errors in the event log.

The description for Event ID 11001 from source MsiInstaller cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

 

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

 

The following information was included with the event:

 

Product: SSO Application Configuration -- Error 1001. Error 1001. Company Name is a required field.

The tool is currently unusable.  And worse, we cannot uninstall and re-install this tool.  Please advise.

Hi,

How are you uninstalling the software.

In case you are getting error while uninstalling it from control panel then download the tool from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14524 and then try installing it. it will ask you for uninstall of existing product.

Hi

It seems lilke you would need to do some deletion in the registry manually. Could you location the uninstallation location of the tool in registry and check if any path is missing or incorrect?

Thanks

Hi,

There are alternatives for SSO Application Configuration MMC. See Custom Configuration options for BizTalk Solution for different options. For reference see also this wiki.

Hi - This was exactly what I did.  It asked me to uninstall the existing product.  However, the uninstall process failed and terminated with the errors mentioned in my original post.

@NaushadAlam - All locations listed in the registry are correct.

@Steef-Jan Wiggers - Thank you.  I'll check it out.  We still would like to explore if there're any other solutions out there for the issue with mmc we're having.

Hi,

Sadly i had the same issue trying to uninstall the SSO App Con... I also could not repair the install due to another 1001 error.

Instead of uninstalling the program i found the registry file i needed to repair the install and imported it to my registry.

1 Open notepad and paste the following

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{ce255ef6-9e3d-42c8-b725-95ccc761b9d9}]
"UseCustomHelp"=dword:00000000
"Type"="Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Samples.ActionsSnapIn, SSOMMCSnapIn, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
"ApplicationBase"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Services\\SSO Application Configuration"
"ConfigurationFile"="SSOMMCSnapIn.dll.config"
"NameString"="SSO Application Configuration"
"Description"="Allows a BizTalk Administrator to Configure the SSO Configuration Store"
"Provider"="Microsoft"
"ModuleName"="SSOMMCSnapIn.dll"
"AssemblyName"="SSOMMCSnapIn"
"RuntimeVersion"="v2.0.50727"
"FxVersion"="3.0.0.0"
"About"="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{ce255ef6-9e3d-42c8-b725-95ccc761b9d9}\NodeTypes]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{ce255ef6-9e3d-42c8-b725-95ccc761b9d9}\Standalone]

2 Save file as .reg

3 Open regedit.exe and import the saved <filename.reg> 

This should allow you to use the SSO App Conf.. again.

I hope this helped.

Tried this (importing registry settings) but by itself it didn't allow me to use SSO Application Configuration.

However, it allowed me to uninstall (fixed the missing registry entries) and then let me install again.

After this, SSO worked again for me.
