I’m facing a problem trying to install WebORB 4.5 and running its administration console.

Since install with the exe doesn’t work at all, I do the zip install process .
When I want to access the console (step #3), I get a lots of errors popups “Send failed…”

Running diagnosics tells me that there is a configuration error :

Configuration Error 
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel.

Source Error: 
Line 121:  </system.webServer>
Line 122:    
Line 123:  <system.serviceModel>                
Line 124:    
Line 125:    <services>        

Source File: C:\Program Files\WebORB for .NET\4.5.0.31\web.config    Line: 123

My current configuration :

  • OS : Windows 2000 server
  • .Net : 2.0.50727 SP2
  • WebORB : 4.5.0.31

I wasn’t able to find an precise answer on other forums yet but I think that’s not only a WebORB issue. I’ve seen that system.serviceModel is not supported before .Net 3.0 but since WebORB 4.5 gives the opportunity to use .Net 2.0 version during install, I wonder what to do… If I remove the system.serviceModel, it doesn’t work either.

Need help! Thanks.

    I have found elsewhere the answer so I put it here, it will maybe help someone 🙂 I have to thank Mark Miller (Weborb) for this trick.

    What I have understood is that when automatic install with EXE is not possible, you have to deal with the ZIP installation.

    Doing so, Weborb install folder [WEBORB DIR] will contain these 2 important files \bin\weborb.dll and \Web.config.

    If by default, they are not configured to work for your .NET version (I think it’s 3.5 by default) you will have to make a few changes.

    If like me, you have to install it on a server running .NET 2.0, in your WebORB installation you will find an assembly (dll) for 2.0 at the following location:

    [WEBORB DIR]\weborbassets\weborbbuilds\.NET2.0\bin

    There is also web.config located at:

    [WEBORB DIR]\weborbassets\weborbbuilds\.NET2.0\

    Then, you will have to copy this correct weborb.dll into [WEBORB DIR]\bin
    and also to copy web.config into [WEBORB DIR]\

    Doing this, I was finally able to load Weborb console without any error!
