Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The error code ERROR_MINIVERSION_INACCESSIBLE_FROM_SPECIFIED_TRANSACTION (0x1A9A) indicates that a miniversion of an object cannot be accessed outside the context in which it was created. Miniversions are used to manage and track changes within transactions, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
Error Details
This error typically occurs when attempting to access or manipulate a miniversion from a transactional operation that did not create the miniversion. Transactions in Windows involve managing changes to objects in a way that ensures atomicity, isolation, and durability. Miniversions are part of this mechanism to maintain consistency.
Usage Context
This error is relevant in scenarios where multiple transactions are interacting with the same object. For example, if one transaction creates a miniversion and another transaction attempts to access it without being part of the original transaction context, this error will be returned.
Developer Interpretation
When encountering ERROR_MINIVERSION_INACCESSIBLE_FROM_SPECIFIED_TRANSACTION, developers should ensure that their operations are within the correct transactional context. This means that any operation involving miniversions must be performed as part of the same transaction that created them. Developers should also verify that they have the necessary permissions and that the object types involved are correctly identified.
