Problem connecting to RTC

GoMaD

Our Middle tier service just crashed and now it seems that only two of the four users who connect to this middle tier have
the following error:

Can somebody please help?

UPDATE:

It seems it has something to do with Profile Personalisations.

Once a user is linked to a Profile, through the Profile ID under "User personalization" we get this error.
When we remove the Profille ID and use the Default Role Center, everything works like a charm.

Any ideas, anyone ????

Is there any language personalization in PromotedActionCategory in some properties. I think I had similar issue

From your description it seems that the record in the Profile Metadata table (2000000074) is 'corrupt'. From looking at the code I can see that you can get into this situation if there are elements in the profile at the root level - but I am just guessing here as I do not have the particular profile in question.

For now, you probably have to reconfigure the profile (see e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd354992.aspx)

I am sorry that the session is terminating based on this - we will log a bug on this.

Just thought I would bump this topic.

While I was setting up personalization (President Role) on the system I got the error on the screen and the same error messages on the server.

Still trying resolve the issue and then try to recreate it. Will post findings.
So far...
Deleted User Personalization Store file. -No change.
No language packs installed.
Opened Table 2000000074 to see what I can see, and it's empty.
Trying the profile reconfiguration.
-edit also changed the role for the user, along with the profile reconfiguration this appears to have fixed the issue.
