Hello.


the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.


It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:

failed to create an ipc port access is denied


Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.


I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?


I am using Windows XP SP3


I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.


I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.


I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.


Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)


I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?


THanks!!

I suspect something has gotten corrupted in your registry or dll repository which is causing iPCU not to find one of its required dlls. I realize this isn't an exciting suggestion, but I would recommend uninstalling all Apple software that has anything to do with iPCU or MobileDevice, i.e.


Apple Application Support

Apple Mobile Device Support

iPhone Configuration Utility

iTunes


and then reinstall iPhone Configuration Utility. You may just want to remove all Apple software before reinstalling iPCU.
