I am getting the following error:

The line of code that is producing the error is:

eCandidusService.WDB.Cookie.Configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath);

The interesting part is that the error happens when the application has been deployed and does not happen while debugging.

What other information can I get you to figure out the issue?

Thank you

All:

The null does the same thing. The path is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Candid.Concept LP\eCandidus Server SA (32 bit)'. The same thing happens with the 64 bit version (and a different path).

All:

Looking at all the settings, I tried it in an instance where the process user was system, instead of network service and that worked. Security issue.

Jose,

We'll try to see whether we will be able to find a workaround that does not require running as Local System. We'll keep you posted. However, UWS cannot let application look at files above application's root. This is clearly a bug in the .NET Framework, and we'll try to find whether there is another way to access config w/o using this method.

Best regards
