When starting up Toad for DB2, the following error appears immediately and Toad is unable to startup - before even connecting to the database:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException
Das Konfigurationssystem konnte nicht initialisiert werden. (The System Configuration could not be initiated)

The machine.config file from Microsoft .Net was not found on the machine, in the directory:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
1. Check if the file C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config exists.
The assumption is that on this particular machine, there is no machine.config in the requested folder.
If its determined that the file already exists, DO NOT continue to Step 2, and instead send the machine.config file to Quest Support.
2. Make a backup copy of the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config.default file
3. Rename the machine.config.default to machine.config, so that the following exists on the machine:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
4. Run Toad again and it will startup correctly.
