  • Hi,

    There can be multiple situations when this error can pop up. It would help if you can add more details like

    - if this is first time you are accessing this environment,

    - if there has been any server change recently.

    From what it seems like:

    (a). your machine config file can be reading badly. Try replacing it from machine where its working.

    (b). you might need to uninstall and reinstall .NET version of yours.

    There has a similar, more detailed thread which is worth a mention here. You can give it a try if above doesnt resolve.
