Spotfire Desktop installer fails with the following error:
- The 'DbProviderFactories' section can only appear once per config file
Cause:
This error may bee seen due to an issue in the machine.config file, which can happen when multiple versions of .NET are installed.
OPTION 1:
Check the following file:
- C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\Machine.Config
The block to pay attention to is this:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<add name="IBM DB2 for i5/OS .NET Provider" invariant="IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for i5/OS" type="IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.iDB2Factory, IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9cdb2ebfb1f93a26"/>
<add name="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact" type="System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeProviderFactory, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"/>
</DbProviderFactories>
<DbProviderFactories/>
</system.data>
In the machine.config file under the V4.0.30319 folder, look for lines like (note that there are two separate DbProviderFactories nodes, one with data and one empty node):
<system.data>
...
<DbProviderFactories />
</system.data>
Delete this line only (the empty DbProviderFactories node):
<DbProviderFactories />Close and save the file.
For example, the above block when modified correctly would look like the following:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<add name="IBM DB2 for i5/OS .NET Provider" invariant="IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for i5/OS" type="IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.iDB2Factory, IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9cdb2ebfb1f93a26"/>
<add name="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact" type="System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeProviderFactory, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"/>
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>Then attempt to install TIBCO Spotfire Desktop again.
OPTION 2:
Uninstall Microsoft .NET completely from your computer and then reinstall just the latest version from Microsoft.
