I noticed that ClientConfigurationSystem still uses GetEntryAssembly()
which however looks correct. What does that method return in your code?

If GetEntryAssembly() returns null and you don't have a configuration
file, then maybe we should just remove that ArgumentException
from OpenExeConfigurationInternal(). I'm far from sure if it is
the right thing (as I'm not the one who wrote the original code),
especially it will bring a risk that a corresponding config file
could be ignored at any time in embedded scenarios, but I have no
other ideas to move this bug away.
