[Mono-devel-list] machine.config not found on Windows

[Michi Henning]

Hi, I've just installed Mono 1.1.8.

When I try to run one of my binaries, I now get (under cygwin):

$ mono ./server.exe
Ice.DNSException: GetHostName failed ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initia
lizer for System.Net.Dns ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationException: Cannot find C:\cygwin\opt\mono\etc:\mono\1.0\

in <0x00076> IceInternal.DefaultsAndOverrides:.ctor (Properties properties)
in <0x002b1> IceInternal.Instance:.ctor (Communicator communicator, Properties properties)

The same code base used to work with Mono 1.1.6, so I suspect that this is due to a configuratin/installation problem.
(I installed using the Windows installer on the download page.)

Thanks,

Michi.
