View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You run an application that uses the Microsoft Customer Care Framework 2009 Service Pack 1 (SP1) quick fix engineering (QFE) client.
  • You do not configure any non-hosted applications. 
  • You start the Customer Care Framework client.
In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
root element is missing.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Customer Care Framework client does not check whether the list of non-hosted applications is null when the client retrieves the list. When you start the client, the startNonHostedApplicationsClient_GetNonHostedApplicationsCompleted method in the Microsoft.Ccf.Desktop.UI.Core assembly starts. The method is used to check the list of non-hosted applications. However, the method does not check whether the list is null. This causes the error that is described in the “Symptoms” section.
