Hi!

We have distributed a client that consumes WSE-enhanced web services.
The client gets the URLs to the web services using a configuration file.

The WSE is not installed on the clients, simply Microsoft.Web.Services2.dll
is put in the same client folder as the main executable. That has always
worked.

Now we needed to raise the value for timeToleranceInSeconds to 900 from its
default value 300. There for the "configSections" and
"microsoft.web.services2" sections was added to the config file. From now all
the clients gets the error message:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationException: WSE032: There was an error
loading the microsoft.web.services2 configuration section.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
 <configSections>
   <section name="microsoft.web.services2"
type="Microsoft.Web.Services2.Configuration.WebServicesConfiguration,
Microsoft.Web.Services2, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
 </configSections>
 <appSettings file="C:\CD\Cesow\CesowAdministrationClient.User.config">
   <add key="***SOMETHING***"
value="http://ws.***SOMETHING***/***SOMETHING***.asmx"/>
 </appSettings>
 <microsoft.web.services2>
   <security>
     <timeToleranceInSeconds>900</timeToleranceInSeconds>
   </security>
 </microsoft.web.services2>
</configuration>

Note that the error is not shown on any development client. I suspect that
the error is not shown because a WSE development installation is done on
these machines.

Must WSE runtime version be manually INSTALLED on clients to make it
possible to read WSE sections in configuration file? We do not want that to
be needed of administration reasons.
