# Error when running EDI verification test

When testing the Pharos EDI Server this error occurs:

Error: A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found.

Line: 20

Server Error in '/

Initialize Session Failed

This has been traced back to a problem with System.EnterpriseServices.dll.

There is an issue with the .Net framework that can cause the installation to mess up if the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service is in a bad state.

To resolve:

1. Disable and stop that service
2. Reinstall the .Net 2.0 framework
3. Restart, and see if you still get the error?

Once the problem is resolved, you should be able to re-enable the DTC service without impact (but test the EDI again to be sure).
