Microsoft BizTalk 2013 Accelerator for HL7 -- Service cannot be started. System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: .Config file '%Drive%:\XXXX\XXXX\Bin\AuditingLoggingService.config' cannot be read successfully due to exception 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified.


Hi All,

While installing HL7 or while starting HL7 Logging Service this error may occur

When you check your event viewer you will find error saying

Service cannot be started. System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: .Config file '%Drive%:\XXXX\XXXX\Bin\AuditingLoggingService.config' cannot be read successfully due to exception 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified. 

it will look like below


Cause: The error is quite self explanatory. it is not able to find AuditingLoggingService.config file.

Solution:  Check if the file exists or not in your system. If exists but at different location then copy the file and paste at specified location.

If not exists :

Open notepad or notepad++ 

Just copy below text :

<configuration><system.runtime.remoting><application name="alserver"><service><wellknown mode="Singleton" type="Microsoft.Solutions.BTAHL7.AuditingLogging.EventBroker, Microsoft.Solutions.BTAHL7.AuditingLogging" objectUri="EventBroker" /></service><channels><channel ref="tcp" port="4000" rejectRemoteRequests="true"><serverProviders><provider ref="wsdl" /><formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" /></serverProviders></channel></channels></application></system.runtime.remoting><appSettings><add key="ConfigDb" value="Integrated Security=SSPI;database=BTAHL7;server=BTS2010DEV" /></appSettings></configuration>

And save it with name as AuditingLoggingService.config

Now copy this file and paste at the specified location and continue with the Insatallation.
