Question

I\'m getting this error when I try to start a windows service I\'ve created in C#:

My Code

Answer 1

I had this issue on a service that I was deploying, and none of the other suggestions on this question worked. In my case, it was because my .config (xml) wasn't valid. I made a copy and paste error when copying from qualif to prod.
