Diagnose

One of two problems occurred. Either an event receiver raised an exception or an event receiver assembly could not be loaded. Determine which assembly was faulty, determine whether it was a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 assembly, and then determine its status.

To determine the correct resolution

  • If the assembly cannot be found, or if it is corrupt, and it is not a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 assembly, then you must uninstall the faulty assembly.

  • If the assembly cannot be found, or if it is corrupt, and it is a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 assembly, then you must repair the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 installation to restore or repair the assembly.

To determine which event receiver raised the exception and if it was a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 assembly

  1. You can find the assembly name in the event string for the event receiver in event 6875 that has a source of "Windows SharePoint Services 3".

  2. In Windows Explorer, on the Windows partition, in the WINDOWS\assemblyfolder, look for the assembly name in the list. If the assembly name begins with "Microsoft.Sharepoint." then the assembly is a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 assembly. If it does not, it might be a vendor-supplied assembly. Go to step 5 to determine the supplier of the assembly.

  3. Right-click the assembly and click Properties.

  4. In the Properties dialog box, on the Version tab, click Company Name in the Items name list. The Value box will display the name of the company that created the assembly.

    Note

    The supplier might not have filled in this information.

  1. Open Add or Remove Programs.

  2. Select Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 from the list and click Change.

  3. In the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 wizard, select the Repair option and click Continue.
