I'm facing a problem trying to install WebORB 4.5 and running its administration console.
Since install with the exe doesn't work at all, I do the zip install process . When I want to access the console (step #3), I get a lots of errors popups "Send failed..."
Running diagnosics tells me that there is a configuration error :
Configuration Error

My current configuration :
I wasn't able to find an precise answer on other forums yet but I think that's not only a WebORB issue. I've seen that system.serviceModel is not supported before .Net 3.0 but since WebORB 4.5 gives the opportunity to use .Net 2.0 version during install, I wonder what to do... If I remove the system.serviceModel, it doesn't work either.
Need help! Thanks.
I have found elsewhere the answer so I put it here, it will maybe help someone :) I have to thank Mark Miller (Weborb) for this trick.
What I have understood is that when automatic install with EXE is not possible, you have to deal with the ZIP installation.
Doing so, Weborb install folder [WEBORB DIR] will contain these 2 important files \bin\weborb.dll and \Web.config.
If by default, they are not configured to work for your .NET version (I think it's 3.5 by default) you will have to make a few changes.
If like me, you have to install it on a server running .NET 2.0, in your WebORB installation you will find an assembly (dll) for 2.0 at the following location:
[WEBORB DIR]\weborbassets\weborbbuilds\.NET2.0\bin
There is also web.config located at:
[WEBORB DIR]\weborbassets\weborbbuilds\.NET2.0\
Then, you will have to copy this correct weborb.dll into [WEBORB DIR]\bin and also to copy web.config into [WEBORB DIR]\
Doing this, I was finally able to load Weborb console without any error!
