Hi Akshay S Bhatnagar,

The problem seems to be caused by the error of System.ServiceModel configure section from your error log. To overcome this problem, I think the System.ServiceModel should be correctly configured. I've seen a similar error case from the internet, you can have a try the solution there, and see if it works. Please turn to here.

If the problem can't be fixed, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Bruce Zhou

What did you have to reinstall? .net 2.0 or what?
