Problem with SamSS service

Background - this is dependency service for DTC (Distributed Transaction Co-ordinator) in SQL Server.

When I attempt to start, Service Manager reports,

"Error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion".
I checked RPC, the dependency service, it's running.

Event Viewer reports,

"The Distributed Transaction Coordinator service depends on the following nonexistent service: SamSS"

Any idea how I get hold of this service, which isn't listed in Admintools=>Services? Do I have to Net Start it, if so how? Do I have to install it? My installation disks sadly are in storage in another part of the country!

Thanks all,



Jaybee.
