Evidence to capture for EVT_WDSMCS_E_CP_DLL_LOAD_FAILED
- Record the exact COM method or Windows API, its input object, the calling thread, and the full 0xC1210250 value before a wrapper converts it to an exception or Boolean result.
- Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions EVT_WDSMCS_E_CP_DLL_LOAD_FAILED or the evt / wdsmcs / cp / dll / load operation.
- Reproduce EVT_WDSMCS_E_CP_DLL_LOAD_FAILED with the smallest valid input and note whether the result changes with identity, architecture, service state, or target object.
Retry and recovery for EVT_WDSMCS_E_CP_DLL_LOAD_FAILED
Retry EVT_WDSMCS_E_CP_DLL_LOAD_FAILED only when the owning API documents a transient state or after the condition described as “An error occurred while trying to load the module %1 for Content Provider %2. %n %n Error Information: %3 %n” has changed.
