IIS 7中具有EF 6.1.3的ASP.NET应用

Question

We just setup a new PCI compliant server and when I deploy my asp.net app to it I get this errors message:

The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' is either not registered in the machine or application config file, or could not be loaded. See the inner exception for details.

I double checked my config file, uninstalled EF and reinstalled it in all the projects. I see the DLL in the bin folder after deployment (we use CI with team city and octopus). I checked almost all the post online for solutions to no success.

When I deploy this app to a non PCI compliant server it works fine. I'm out of ideas to what can cause it!!

web.config

 <configSections> <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false"/> </configSections> <!-- Connection String --> <add name="BondedBuilderModel" connectionString="data source=SqlServer;initial catalog=mydb;integrated security=false;User Id=user; Password =pass;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> <!-- Provider --> <entityFramework> <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework"> <parameters> <parameter value="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </parameters> </defaultConnectionFactory> <providers> <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer"/> </providers> </entityFramework>

Answer 1

For anyone running through this, finally figured it out.
In the machine.config file:

32-bit

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]\config\machine.config 

64-bit

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\[version]\config\machine.config 

There was a dbproviders section defined but right after it there was another one defined like this <DbProviderFactories/>

As soon as this second one was deleted the app started to work and the error above stopped showing up.
The question remains why would the machine config have both sections defined. No one manually edited this file!!
