PEERDIST_ERROR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED
The supplied object has already been initialized.
PEERDIST_ERROR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED is Win32 error 4055 (0xFD7) and belongs to Peer Distribution and BranchCache object lifecycle during setup.
Troubleshooting steps
- Record both initialization call stacks, object identity, and ownership flags.
- Record the exact PeerDist function involved in object lifecycle during setup.
What to verify
Verify whether initialization was invoked again for an object that already owns initialized PeerDist state. Check both initialization call stacks, object identity, and ownership flags; record the exact PeerDist function involved in object lifecycle during setup.
Handling, retry, and recovery
Make initialization idempotent in the wrapper or ensure exactly one owner performs it, without discarding the live state.
Difference from nearby codes
NOT_INITIALIZED is the opposite boundary; ALREADY_INITIALIZED protects against duplicate setup.
Practical example
Two components share a wrapper and both run startup initialization. Centralizing ownership prevents the second call.
