Answer

If your system shows up with a Microsoft .NET Framework error message that says “Configuration system failed to initialize”, the error message should have a similar information that contains the following text:

************** Exception Text **************
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 10, position 1. (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\MSI\SCM.exe_Url_zv0ikcohnhzptbjtykvepncdk0ijftla\13.16.10073.0\user.config line 10)
