"Configuration system failed to initialize"

[AshwiniSH]

Hi, I have created a Windows Service and i am calling a web service method from my windows service. When i run my windows service, i am getting the below error "Configuration system failed to initialize" Note: The services are installed and my web service is running from Visual Studio (ASP.NET development server) Please help to fix this error.

That's typically caused by a small typo in the configuration file, e.g. a space between a < and the following keyword...

Thank you. I think that was the problem (typo in config or any changes). I recreated my project and it worked well for me. Thank you again.
