#1 Installation configuration

[Anonymous]

The installation readme file states to prepare the installation configuration the passport.exe needs to be run with the -Control switch (as is the case with the program group shortcut) but whenever passport.exe is run regardless of whether the -Control switch is used, the following error occurs.

C:\Program Files\PJS\PassPort\PassPort.exe

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I have tried reinstalling too but this doesnt help. Without any idea how the configuration file should be formatted I cannot even create one manually.

Any ideas?

I have observed the described error on a machine that had corrupt installation of the .NET Framework. I am not sure if it helps, but try reinstalling the framework. I think that the error you have seen on the screen is that of the .NET runtime (who executes the managed code) - it is not cast by the PassPort.

As to the configuration file I am attaching one example, but it is created once you run the PassPort -Control (or if you use the installed shortcut) and you configure one or more forwards. The control part of the program can run without the config xml file - the service cannot.

File Added: PassPortConfig.xml

If I recall, the solution was to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable:

Thanks, I will try to track down the reason for this. Maybe it will be simplest to add the redistributable of the VC2005. Need to spend some weekend on it.

Due to release new corrected release the problem should disappear. So far was not replicated with the new code.
