Again to reiterate for a third time... THE COMPATIBILITY MODE TRICK DID NOT WORK! I had to use another method which I posted a few days ago. It required deleting some files related to .NET.

I agree with Ned. I have even seen this work for a specific user on a Windows 2003 (XP) terminal server. The one user would be unable to launch 32-bit Epicor... it would just crash immediately and give the System.Security.XmlSyntaxException even message in event log.
Logged in as this user, I turned on compatibility mode for her shortcut to Epicor Prod - set it to Windows XP. Now Epicor starts fine! I then turn compatibility mode off again and Epicor will still start up fine. It's like it clears some setting or corrupt configuration file somewhere.
