RPC_X_WRONG_PIPE_VERSION - 1832 (0x728)

Unsupported RPC pipe version.

Updated: Feb 21, 2026

Technical Meaning

The error code RPC_X_WRONG_PIPE_VERSION indicates that a remote procedure call (RPC) operation encountered an unsupported pipe version. This typically occurs when the client and server are using different versions of the RPC protocol, leading to incompatibility.

Error Details

This error is specific to the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) subsystem within Windows. It suggests that the version of the RPC pipe being used by the client does not match the expected or supported version on the server side. This can result from various factors such as software updates, configuration issues, or networked applications using different versions of the same service.

Usage Context

This error code is commonly encountered in scenarios where multiple versions of an application or service are running across a network, and there is a mismatch in the RPC protocol version. It can also occur during development when testing with different versions of software components.

Developer Interpretation

Developers should ensure that all components involved in an RPC operation use compatible versions of the RPC pipe. This includes verifying that both client and server applications are using the same version of the RPC library or service. Additionally, it is important to check for any recent updates or changes in software configurations that might have introduced this issue.
