Configuration system failed to initialize

6. April 2010

I am now working to place one of our newest features using Microsoft Azure. When I was attempting to run the "devfabric" which is a simulation of the cloud within your own sandbox. My solution threw me a compile error stating "Configuration system failed to initialize".

 

My Problem:

In my App.config I was using <configSections> but did not have them as the first element under the <configuration> tag. 

Solution:

Once I moved my <configSections> as the first element in my <configuration> tag everything worked.
