"Configuration System failed to Initialize" but nothing wrong with the config file.

Asked by emdsft in Visual Studio .NET 2005

Tags: failed, system, initialize, configuration

I have built an application in Visual Studio 2005. And we have deployed this application to a PC with XP Embedded OS. The system was running fine for several days and today we get the error "Configuration System failed to Initialize". I asked the client to send me the config file so I can take a look at it. The config file looks fine and the application works on my PC (with XP OS).   I asked them to send the whole directory that contained the application and its dependencies, databases it uses and the config files. I copied the directory onto my PC and I was not able to reproduce the problem. I then built a new version of the executable for them where it showed the inner exception also. But when the client ran this executable from his PC it ran fine. But the old executable still has the same problem. Both the executables (run one at a time renaming the other) use the same config file.
