How? Terminal services? VNC? In your other message you say that server
is Ubuntu Linux, right?

That is a Windows error message, as can be seen here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382(VS.85).aspx

Reading some other problems on MS website, like this one:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820524

it seems that this error message shows when some env. variable is
missing (possibly by running a program within terminal services or
similar environment).

Does your application or some of the libraries it uses need env. variables?
