Reading the MSMQ transcational dead letter queue

Question

I'm trying to read the transactional deal letter queue in MSMQ using C#.NET and am getting "A workgroup installation computer does not support the operation"

For 10 Stack Overflow points, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You're probably referencing the queue using the wrong kind of FormatName or path. What does yours look like?

Answer 2

Try this formatname instead and see if it works:

@"FORMATNAME:DIRECT=OS:.\SYSTEM$;DeadXact"
