When i run some apps, i encounter

Error Parsing c;\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config

Parser returned error 0x80004005

I replaced machine.config with machine.config.default.

I changed permissions to EVERYONE with full control.

I still get the error.

What do I do next?

    Hi @Frank Tanski ，

    You can try copying this config file from another computer that doesn't have this error.

    Also consider repair/reinstall .NET Framework for this PC.

    Best Regards.
