Very strange problem
I have windows service, that using information from inside App.config by
ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs["ConfigPath "] <- Everything is ok here
BUT, once I want to read string such as
<add key="ConfigPath " value="%my_home _dir%\config\fi le.xml" />
or
<add key="ConfigPath " value="C:\Progr am
Files\MyApplica tion\Sinfo\conf ig\file.xml" />
it failed on "Illegal String exception"
Once using THE SAME string from INSIDE service - works file, but from
App.config failed.
Notice1: The same string from App.config works fine from Console Application
Notice2: Tried to save myservice.exe.c onfig in service directory and in
System32 directory as well. The same problem.
Notice3: Other string I can read without problems
What is the problem, as I missing something?

Thanks for the app.config file - don't see anything wrong with it. I have windows service, that using information from inside App.config by
ConfigurationS ettings.AppSett ings["ConfigPath "] <- Everything is ok here
I don't quite understand - you *can* read something from the
app.config file, from within your service, at first??
I was just thinking that maybe the service doesn't find the app.config
file, or the ConfigurationSe ttings object might be NULL, or something
like that..... hmm......
Can you read those settings from a "regular" windows apps??

Hi Tamir,
First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you cannot get string values from the
app.config file in a Windows Service application. If there is any
misunderstandin g, please feel free to let me know.
Based on the app.config file you have provided, I cannot see any problem
either. I have also put the app.config file in a Windows Service project,
however, I cannot reproduce the problem. Could you show us the code you're
accessing the configuration setting and in which event the code is?

Hi Tamir,
With the code and app.config file, I still cannot reproduce the problem on
my computer. I think this problem might relate with the environment on your
computer and how the windows service was installed onto your machine.
Please also use FileMon to check if the .EXE file has refer to the correct
.config file. FileMon can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml

I want to have a config file with my python proggie, satisfying the
following requirements:
1) support key->(value, default)
2) simple and intuitive to read and edit
3) easyly readable into a python datastructure (a dictionary?)
4) not requiring any heavy libraries needed (I am distributing my
proggie as a py2exe executable and do not want to bloat the size)
can you guys suggest some format for this? thanks,

I am having a bit of a problem reading a configuration
