Failed to read the configuration file. Fresh install on windows 7

I have just downloaded and installed firefox on my windows 7 computer. No errors on the install. When I try to launch Firefox I get this dialog box. Configuration Error - Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system
administrator.

Check for the presence of a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to initialize some prefs.
This also involves the presence of a .js (JScript) file, probably in "defaults\pref" folder, that specifies to process this mozilla.cfg file.
If you have .js files apart from the channel-prefs.js file, that sets app.update.channel, in the defaults\pref folder then open this file in an editor like Notepad and please post its content.
Also please post the content of the mozilla.cfg file.
There shouldn't be a mozilla.fcg file present unless you've created it yourself to initialize some prefs.
If you have this mozilla.cfg file then best is to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.

I have installed Firefox but I keep getting the following message, "Failed to read the configuration file."

Firefox has stopped working. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still will not work. It tells me that it installed successfully but when I launch it I get a window that says, "Failed to read the configuration file." and it will not open. Please help.

Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Firefox does not open, but instead gives the error message, "Failed to read the configuration file." It has worked in the past, but not now.

I can not open Firefox. Keep getting the error message "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." What do I do?

I can not open Firefox. I keep getting the message "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." I have tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling it but without success. What should I do?

Which Fx version? When you uninstalled Fx, did you reboot computer before reinstall?
Also, check for / delete any leftover files in the Fx programs install folders, before reinstall?
Is your profile in the default location or custom location?
Have you tried creating a new, completely clean profile - to test (then make sure to select that profile to start Fx - from the Profile Manager)? (no addons or plugins installed).
Does the user acct (that Fx fails under) have access ("rights") to all locations - especially for Fx profiles location?

When I click on the firefox icon, I get the message "FAiled to read the configuration file. Please contract your system administrator."

I was using my laptop on a hotel wireless the past couple of days. I returned home and put it back on the docking station. However, I do remember getting this same error message while I was on the hotel wireless. Since IE worked, I didn't worry about it, thinking it had something to do with the hotel wireless. However, now I'm home and it still won't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox a couple of times - still the same error message. I don't have a "system administrator" to contact - that would be me!

Are you using a file mozilla.cfg to lock or initialize prefs?

Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow

Hi experts, yesterday I created and publish custom workflow using SPD from client pc using site administrator account but today its shows error message. I tried creating new test workflows, edit and publish to think it will push a fresh SPD settings
in working condition and it works pretty right.
But the thing I noticed after closing SPD Im not able to re-open workflows and it gives the same error message Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow. This issue only happen today since day one I used SPD and all the time
Im using the same pc.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Cheers, R2C3 ----------------------------------- starting sharepoint :)

HI
Maybe you have permission problem or there is invalid xoml murkup.
To verify this from SharePoint Designer use the following steps.
In Office SharePoint Designer, in the folder list, select the plus sign next to Workflows library to expand it
1.Next select the plus sign of the workflow in question to expand it
2.Double-click the configuration file (Workflow_name.xoml.wfconfig.xml) to open it
3.Right-click on the page, and then select Verify well-formed XML
4.Correct any errors and save the file
5.Reopen the workflow to test
Also double check that you are using SPD with the same credentials you created workflow
Hope this will help.

Marcin

DLL is failing to read the text file on RTOS

I have created a DLL using Fortran Microsoft Power STation 4.0. The DLL reads data from text files. A vi is created to call this dll. This vi is working fine in winodows. It is reading from the text files and manipulates.
When this vi is donwloaded to RTOS Labview 7.1, it fails to read the file and the RT reboots. The error message is "file not found (filename)". The file is present is the current directory of DLL.
Please assist me in solving this problem. My email Id is: [email protected] or [email protected]

Hello GTRE,
It seems like something isn't letting you access that DLL. Do you have the DLL moved onto the RT target? What is your real-time target? Does the DLL require access to other resources? What specifically does the error message say? Does it contain an error code?
Answering these questions will allow us to narrow down the problem - thanks!

>>The file is read partially and my mapping throws an error.
Thats the normal behaviour of XI,if you get a partial file,you will get a error message.
There are several work arounds for this,first of all have a script independant of XI which is running on FTP server,this script will keep on checking for modifications in file and once the file is completely written,it will rename the file to some other extension(for e.g .dat) and XI file adapter will only pick .dat file,this will make sure that only complete files are picked up.
Second option is to have a tag all the way in the end of XML which says EOF(of any other character),in your mesage mappin create the root node of target only if this last tag is EOF.Since in incomplete file you will not have this last tag,message processing will stop.
Thanx

Attaching USB Drive - Can't read AP configuration file, kills internet

Current network:
Airport Extreme (Sim Dual-Band)
Mac Pro (wired Ethernet)
MacBook Pro (wired or WiFi N)
MacBook (WiFi N)
2 x iPhones (WiFi G)
Airport Extreme in use for several months with no problems. All Macs can read/write it's configuration.
I hooked up a 1TB My Book USB HD to the Airport Extreme via USB. All three Macs (Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, MacBook) could see and read/write to the new drive. The Airport Extreme appeared in Airport Utility on all three Macs. Wired, WiFi N + G internet continued to work great... however none of the Macs could read the configuration file of the Airport Extreme. If I unplugged the USB drive all the Macs could read and write to the configuration file.
I plugged the USB drive back in and left it overnight. This morning, everything continued to work, with the exception that none of the computers could read the configuration of the AP.
Around 10am today the Macs/iPhones could no longer connect to the internet. I disconnected the USB drive and now the internet works again.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file

Hi ,
I have an imac ( ilamp) 20' connected to ADSL, via Netopia Router which is connected to the Airport extreme connected to imac, for the PB Aluminum Tiger 10.4.5. we both can connect. PB can print via imac/printer.
The imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file, when i enter the pswd which is correct, i get the message "The Airport Admin. Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station an error occurred while reading the configuration "
My Beau updated Airport to V5.7, this is the first time since the update I've tried to access the conf. file for the imac which i have done numerous times prior.
I have a new base station Ip address 254.128.0 in Airport Utility Admin, on the imac which does not reflect my network settings anywhere, and is not what it use to be, i think, it was one value different than the PB.Base station IP. I do not know how it changed neither one of us changed it.
I tried using the Airport Setup assistant (imac), I received this message:
"Appropriate Airport hardware was bot found on this computer,if you recently
Installed, an Airport card,please shut down your computer$ make sure the card is properly istalled."
The imac does not have a card, nor do i think it needs one.
I would like to be able to at least open the configuration file.
Thank you for reading my post.

Hi Kes, a star for the company !
I made an error on my first post I have a Netopia modem, Airport router.
And so it remains, i guess that there must be an easy answer somewhere
that I am missing that I/we should read, some direction to that would be helpful, and I would be very appreciative.
As I said the password had been set, and it is not an issue of that being forgotten, i wondered if it was changed back to "public" tried, not it.
particular because everytime the imac wakes one of the folders on ( no one else in office just me and boyfriend and it is his work folder he has a copy on the PB.( the folder on desk top has been clicked on, the one with sensitve info, i have backed the folder up and secure trashed it, just in case some security issue hacking has taken place, thats closing the barn door after the fact.

The configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML - When using Office 2013 ODT package

All,
I'm experiencing an issue where when using the Office 2013 package pulled down from ODT, that if I try to change the locations of either InfoPath Filler 2013 or Publisher 2013 from the default of Microsoft Office 2013 then I receive the message "The
configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML. Please check the management server event log for more information". If I check Applications and Services\Microsoft\AppV\Server-Management\Admin the error displayed there is "An
error was encountered parsing dynamic configuration file '0'. However I am able to change the shortcut location for all other applications except the above 2. I've tried redownloading the files using the ODT and also changing the version number (so far I've
tried both the 15.0.4631.1002 and 15.0.4659.1001 with the same result).
As all I'm interested in so far is having a package which contains Visio and Project I've tried following the article to exclude all the other Office elements:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ExcludeAppElement. However the package looks to be the same and when I load it into the management console all the options and elements to Office 2013 are available like they were before
when I hadn't set the exclude tags so I'm not sure whether the ExcludeApp parameters actually work correctly.
This then brings me onto the 3rd issue I've experienced. I have a group for the Visio users and I've set custom security for them to have Visio delivered to them but not Project and then a seperate group for just Project users who will have Project delivered
to them but not have Visio. When testing this sometimes seems to work but other times it seems to trip out and a user just in the Project or Visio group will get all of the Office 2013 applications and under the default location of Microsoft Office 2013. When
trying to spot correlation with this it appears random and can happen to any user on any device. We have sequenced a few applications ourselves where different parts are needed for different users and we have successfully managed this using different security
groups for different applications, just as I'm trying here with Office 2013.
Has anyone else experienced the issue with the "did not contain well formed XML" as at the start of the post and how were you able to resolve this? Also has anyone any advice on how to troubleshoot the issue with the security seeming to trip out
and publish all applications within a package to a user regardless of whether they are in the correct group or not?
The management / publishing servers are 5.0.1224.0 which is SP1 HF4 and the clients are on SP2 HF5.
Thanks

Nicke,
The config files are UTF-8. I did find the same article as yourself, however when searching for the value ‘TakeoverExtensionPointsFrom46=’ within either of the configuration.xml files that text isn’t found.
No sinister reason not to share the file used, just it’s the same structure as referenced in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn745895(v=office.15).aspx. The only difference being that I’m using ProPlusVolume and I’ve set a version number (which is the October
2014 update). I’ve even looked to follow the above example as closely as possible in just using the ExcludeApp ID of Access and InfoPath, just to try and prove the process. However I still get the usual full package. The version of the Click-to-Run setup.exe
I’m using is 15.0.4623.1001, so later than the version specified at the end of that article which is 15.0.4619.1000. Where can I expect to see the elements excluded? Will it be when loading the package into the management console or would it just not appear
on the machine when delivered?
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\OfficeDeploymentToolV2" Version="15.0.4659.1001" OfficeClientEdition="32">
 <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
 <Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
 </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3). We’ve not used global publishing in our environment yet so I will try that. I’ve set both GlobalRefreshEnabled and GlobalRefreshOnLogon to True and when using the command Get-AppvPublishingServer on the client I’m testing with I can see this is pulled
through correctly. I’ve also added the client name to the AD group used to grant access to the package and it is published. However nothing is pulling through onto the Client, so are there any steps I’ve missed or misinterpreted when looking to set this up?
I guess the global publishing is there to keep in with licensing for Office being per device? On a slight aside, as Windows licensing is being changed to allow per user licensing
http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-make-per-user-windows-licensing-available-to-enterprise-customers-7000035401/ does anyone know if there are any plans to allow for Office / Project / Visio licenses to go per user as well? We’re a volume license customer
rather than subscription based so I think a lot of the options to selectively deploy Visio and Project are excluded for us.
Dan,
Ok that explains why the security could be tripping out then and leading to this result. As above I’ll try with global publishing and see how I get on.
From what I’ve read / watched I think only one Office 2013 package can be published to a machine, so we would be unable to have a separate package for Visio and a separate package for Project and then attempt to deliver
them both together. If a user wanted both Project and Visio then I guess we’d need to have a combined Project and Visio package to cover than scenario, but then 2 more separate Project and Visio packages for those who would only want either Project and Visio
(I think).
The scenario we’re looking at is to see whether we are able to deliver Project and / or Visio to different users through an AppV package and this will then cover users on XenApp or on fat clients. Only a small proportion of our
users will need access to Project and / or Visio so therefore we’d only have a small amount of Project and Visio licenses.
However from what I’ve tested up to this point and from what I’ve picked up from Forum posts / watched on TechEd sessions is that as publishing is Global and is unable to use different security groups for different elements of the
suite, then using Office through AppV is only suitable if you will be delivering the whole suite (including Project and Visio) to all of your users. So in a scenario where you’d only want certain elements to be delivered to a handful of users then you’d need
to keep with traditional ESD methods to have this installed onto fat clients and steer clear of XenApp. If wanting to install to XenApp then a lockdown tool like AppSense or AppLocker would also need to be brought into the equation.
Is my understanding above correct or have I missed some options / methods?
If the full Office package is always delivered but a company only has Office licenses and no Project and Visio licenses for all its users, how do they stop Project and Visio being delivered and being available? Or again if you have
this use case is the AppV method one which will be unsuitable?
Thanks

Problems saving values in the configuration file

Hello,
I'm upgrading one of my projects from VS2005 (with .NET 2.0) to VS2013 (with .NET 4.5). I have a setup project in my solution, but this is no longer supported and I have to change to InstallShield
deployment project. With the old setup project my app runs fine, but now with InstallShield I have a problem. I install the application in this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName. I use .config file to read and write some parameters.
Reading parameters goes well, but when I write new values in the .config file a get one error. When I used the old setup project, at writing time the system created new .config file in C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName
(this is named isolated storage, isn't it? :S).
These are all changes I made in the solution:
When I opened the solution with VS 2013 the migration process went well (some warnings and messages) except setup project (of course).
I upgrade all projects to .NET Framework 4.5 (Project properties -> Application -> Target framework).
I have intalled InstallShielld Limited Edition and added and configured the new deployment project.
I think that these are all changes. And this is the source code where I get the exception:
public void SetXParamValue(string value)
try
Configuration conf = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Application.ExecutablePath);
conf.AppSettings.Settings["XParam"].Value = value;
conf.Save();
catch (Exception e)
MessageBox.Show("Error setting X param.");
And this is the exception:
Exception messsage:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName\oy25i1se.tmp' is denied. (C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName\ExeFile 1.0.192b.exe.config)

Any suggestions? I have to configure something else?
Thank you,
Jon.

> "With the old setup project my app runs fine"
Actually, I disagree. Your configuration file is sitting alongside your application, in a directory that
should be protected from changes by "regular" users and it's
only running because Windows is intercepting your attempt to write under C:\Program Files* and rerouting those attempts to a "Virtual Store" location. By the sounds of it, something your new installer is doing is [quite rightly]
stopping this from happening (IIRC, virtualisation can be turned off for a program and, IMHO,
should be).
You need to move the configuration file to a location that the user can write to (somewhere under C:\Users\username), even if you have to copy it the very first time it's needed.
