We have a copy of Act! Premium for Web 9 (2007) running on our Windows 2003 server that now fails to open. The error message is: <br />
<br />
&quot;C:\Program Files\ACT\Act for Web\ActSage.exe<br />
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.&quot;<br />
<br />
The problem has started since installing the Act! SQL Server 2005 Update.<br />
<br />
From searching online I believe that this may result from corruption or misconfiguration of manifest and config files in applications written in .net (which this is).<br />
<br />
Does anyone have a fix for this or is reinstallation the only solution?<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
