I am getting Error : " Root element is missing
This is not a fatal error, setup will continie after you press OK."

when isntalling version 6.0 of Dotconnect for oracle. Trying to install on windows 7 64bit version.

I cannot reproduce the error with the latest version of dotConnect for Oracle in our enviroment. Please try the 6.10.103 version and run it with the "As Administrator" option. If the problem persists, send us the following information:
1) the Install.log file (location by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Devart\dotConnect\Oracle\Insall.log);
2) the current version (x.xx.xxx) and edition of your dotConnect for Oracle (the Tools > Oracle > About menu of Visual Studio);
3) the build number (execute "ver" in command line) and edition (Computer > Properties) of your Windows 7 x64;
4) the exact versions and editions of all Visual Studios that are installed on your machine (the Help > About menu of Visual Studio).

Can some one reply to above question. I am trying to install/Unistall Devart DotConnect for oracle(Trial) version 7.0.25.0 on windows 7 64bit and getting the same error Message: Root element is missing. (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config).

Could you please send us your machine.config file located in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config if your system disk is C:?
