Error getting on lunching Windows writer

[Tarani]

My problem is that I am getting a pop up when starting writer, stating that application an error has been encountered and close immediately. I observe that there is no installation log present there. So I created one with use of notepad, but no data is put in to the log file. I have tried that on older version of the writer was functional for a time from long time. But unable to seem to pin point the dysfunction. Anybody have any ideas so please reply.

I have some steps for you I am not confident about this that it is useful for you or not but you can definitely should try. First rename from machine.config.old to machine.config in the config directory. Then create a copy of machine.config.default and Rename the copy from using above step to machine.config. After that restart computer once and try.

I think the hint for the problem is that even if writer is installed, it does not generate an install log. However, I did observe something exciting before some time when I used process monitor to inspect the process of writers launching and to the time the error displays. it looks that the writer creates files in the temp folder, which are hidden then are removed before the error pop ups. Not sure what else is relevant.
