Hi All,

I have developed a desktop application. It works fine in XP,server2003,vista and windows7.
But the problem with server2008. I tried to trace the error occurring place. It is when connecting the database. DB server pings from the local system.

But I get this error --- <b>"Configuration system failed to initialize"</b>.

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Solution 1

In app.config, configsections should be the first element.

<configsections>
</configsections>

<appsettings>
</appsettings>

Please check if this solved your issue.

ya I agree with what you say. I tried that also. But not working.
I found the problem. The problem was with me.That is:

This should have been the connection String:
<appsettings>
<add key="connectionString" value="server=192.168.1.6;User ID=sa;Password=sa;database=databaseName; connection Reset=FALSE;">

But in my connection string '"' was missing at the end:

<appsettings>
