In Visual Studio 2013, when installing the Exceptionless package, the following errors occur:

@haliphax are you still seeing this with the latest client package?

[niemyjski]

I was able to reproduce and this is fixed in a nightly which will be pushed shortly. This was happening because the app.config didn't have a <configuration> node.

Sorry I didn't respond - been dealing with a newborn, so I haven't been regularly checking up on things. :) For the record, I had a pretty flawless install on a newer version of Windows, IIS, and .NET when we put Exceptionless into production.

Thanks for the heads up and congrats on the new born! I've fixed your original issue and it's been deployed. If you have any feedback please let us know!
