Unable to Locate Component (vafxu.DLL)
I'm trying to get an answer for a friend with Windows XP and an iTunes problem he is having. Here are the details:
A couple times after starting iTunes, i've gotten this error:
4f8: iTunes.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because vafxu.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I have re-installed iTunes...it didn't fix it. I still get the error message BUT it still boots up and runs like it should. What is vafxu.dll and where can I get it?
I've done a search using Google but didn't come up with any answers. I didn't find anything here using search so I thought I would post this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
That error is because you've removed part (but not all) of your TWAIN device driver software.
Some camera or scanner installed it's drivers, but somehow parts of the drivers have been lost.
You can solve this by reinstalling the drivers, or by disabling the TWAIN plugin in Photoshop so it'll stop trying to work with TWAIN drivers (Note that you still might have problems in other applications that also use TWAIN drivers).

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 (I know it's old, I'm in the process of upgrading it now to 2012) on an old HP ProLiant server. It's worked for ages, but yesterday morning it booted up with the blue screen of death, saying:
STOP c0000135 unable to locate component csrsrv.dll not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
I have tried coping the file from C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\csrsrv.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32\ using a WS2003R2 recovery disk, but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure what to do now...
I do have backups, but I'd prefer just to get this server back up and running so that I can continue to migration so that I can decommission it permanently and put it out to pasture...
Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!If copying the DLL does not help then I would recommend doing a system state restore from a backup.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP

I have tried re-installing but get the same error. Please help!! ThanksThat error is because you've removed part (but not all) of your TWAIN device driver software.

The error message also suggests that I unintall and reinstall firefox, I tried that but it does not fix the problem.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.
Other security software may have similar features to prevent Firefox from updating files properly.

My operating system is Windows XP SP3. I have Adobe 11.0.08 installed. I cannot print a pdf file/document. Error message - AeroRd32.exe - Unable To Locate Component - "Application failed to start because lxdautil.dll not found." Any suggestions?
That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

No you should be fine. (The MobileMe service is being shut down, anyway, so there should be no impact at all.) -
