OutOfMemoryExce ption loading machine.config at system boot time (RemotingConfig uration.Configu re)

Per Bergland

After many woes, I finally managed to get a stack dump of my System
Service (written in C#) that insists on crashing when launched at system
boot time (see below on how to get this dump - I couldn't find any info
on how to do this).
Here's the stack trace from cordbg:

[thread 0x220] Unhandled exception generated: (0x04719c94)

I've had problems with starting remoting from system services before and
I've actually stopped using it because I couldn't get it to start up
successfully, but I must have left a call to
RemotingConfigu ration.Configur e somewhere in my code. Is this a case of
my service actually depending on another service. If so, which one would
that be and why is it causing an OutOfMemoryExce ption when loading
machine.config? ??

PS. Here's how to get a postmortem log from a .NET app. Should be in the
faq somewhere

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Mi crosoft\.NETFra mework]
"DbgJITDebugLau nchSetting"=dwo rd:00000002

Studio .NET 2003\\SDK\\v1.1 \\Bin\\cordbg.e xe\" !a 0x%x !w !ex

c:\\temp\\cor dbg.log"

In my case I just installed the .NET 1.1 SDK, so the path to cordbg is
was actually something like
C:\\Program Files\\Microsof t .NET SDK 1.1 Bin\\Bin\\cordb g.exe
