McpManagementService Error Code: 15100 – Failed to Read Description

When you open Services MMC and double-click “McpManagementService”, the properties dialog may show the error 15100.

Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 15100

The error occurs because the file McpManagementService.dll doesn’t have the specific string resource embedded into it. Whereas the service’s registry setting points to two non-existent string resources, namely: McpManagementService.dll,-100 and McpManagementService.dll,-101

Resolution

To fix the display name and the description fields in Services MMC, follow these steps:



  1. Launch Regedit.exe to start the Registry Editor.
  2. In the Registry Editor, go to the following branch:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\McpManagementService
  3. Set the value data for DisplayName and Description values to the following:
    Universal Print Management Service
  4. Exit the Registry Editor.

The MMC should show “Universal Print Management Service” for the service name and description.
