David, Thanks for your bug report. I am almost sure this bug does not happen anymore on Notifier 1.1.6. I believe you reported this for Notifier 1.1.5 (although the version you placed reads 1.1.15). Please try this on 1.1.6 since the problem should be already fixed there. Thanks.

I'm seeing this issue on Windows 8.1 as of Dec 26 2015. I just reinstalled the latest MYSQL Server and I still get this error. I don't know how to fix this. It pops up everytime I open my computer and when I try to open MYSQL Notifier. Please let me know how to fix it. Thanks.

I removed the oracle directory under C:\Users\Me\Appdata\Roaming as I couldn't find it under local either. Restarted MySQL notifier and the files were recreated. Worked like a charm for me.

I had the exact problem David describes. So I took the latest advice, found the %appdata%/Roaming folder and renamed the "Oracle" folder to "OracleBadBadBad". Now my errors are gone! Yeah! But now my %appdata%/Roaming folder seems to be gone too. Hm.....

I have had MySQL installed for about 2 months on Windows Server 2003 R2. On start up we get presented with an error that says "High Severity Error - root element missing" followed by another high severity error that displays "Log file path must be defined before calling the WriteToLog method". Any help with this would be appreciated! ran across this problem on my local install of MySQL Notifier since 10 days , and neither deleting settings.config, nor reinstalling had any effect. after Further query/investigation somebody suggested me to a file in the same folder with the name connections.xml that only contained a single space character. Deleting that file and restarting the notifier did the trick, though, so if (like me) deleting settings.config doesn't correct the problem, look for connections.xml, and inspect that file for possible problems, deleting when necessary. but it was not resolved my problem.

Posted by developer: Added functionality to let users retry the loading of a connections information XML file, and re-create the file from scratch if loading fails. This is in case the connections.xml file gets corrupted for any reason. The only way to get the "Root element is missing" error is if the XML file got corrupted. Didn't find anything in the Notifier's code that could be corrupting the connections.xml file, just by following the attached steps I could not reproduce the error, best guess is that it was being corrupted in an earlier version of the Notifier. If this bug is reopened once again, more information will be needed to know what exactly is corrupting the connections.xml file, like what mysql services are installed locally, is MySQL Workbench installed or previously installed, etc.

So following Troy Noble and Brenda Krafft example, instead of renaming Oracle file, or removing Roaming folder in appdata, I instead just renamed the MySQL Notifier folder, restarted MySQL Notifier, it then created a new folder and is now working fine, even when I start up my computer.

I am having the same problem on Windows 10 MySQL Server 5.7.17.0 Notifier 1.1.7 After Upgrading from 5.7.10 to 5.7.17 and still after new installation "root element is missing" -------------------------------------------------------------------- in System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) in System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent() in System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read() in System.Xml.XmlTextReader.Read() in System.Xml.XmlReader.MoveToContent() in System.Xml.XmlReader.ReadStartElement(String name) in MySQL.Utility.Classes.CustomSettingsProvider.GetPropertyValues(SettingsContext context, SettingsPropertyCollection collection) in System.Configuration.SettingsBase.GetPropertiesFromProvider(SettingsProvider provider) in System.Configuration.SettingsBase.GetPropertyValueByName(String propertyName) in System.Configuration.SettingsBase.get_Item(String propertyName) in System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase.GetPropertyValue(String propertyName) in System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase.get_Item(String propertyName) in MySql.Notifier.Properties.Settings.get_AutoAddPattern() in MySql.Notifier.Classes.Program.ChangeAutoAddPatternDefaultValue() in MySql.Notifier.Classes.Program.Main(String[] args) --------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe solved: After trying a solution found on "stackoverflow" the problem appears to be solved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delete or rename the following files: C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this will be recreated with a size of 3kB instead of the 2kB of the installation. Since yesterday the PC was rebooted 2 times without presenting the problem again.

Thank you for your bug report. This bug was fixed in the 1.1.16 release and here is the changelog entry: A corrupted connections.xml file caused MySQL Notifier to display a "Root element is missing" error message when started.
