Persistent Problem with USPS Shipping Assistant

[Brainstormer]

When I try to launch the United States Postal Shipping Assistant I
get:

"the type initializer for
microsoft.practices.enterpriselibrary.exceptionhandling.exceptionpolicy
threw an exception."

and it does not launch.

I have uninstalled .Net Framework and reinstalled it, and this is the
error I get. I've also tried reinstalling
Shipping Assistant.

When I google the error, it's mostly from programmers who are
discussing code, not for end users
of others applications. No other applications give me this error.

Anyone have any advice on this one?

I'm using XP Service Pack 2.

Might it have something to do with services? I turn different ones on
and
off on occasion.

Well, if you don't want information from programmers who are discussing
code, you need to post your question in a different forum. This forum
is specifically for programmers who are discussing code (.NET Framework
code, specifically).

Personally, given the name of the program you're asking about I'd
recommend contacting the United States Postal Service. It seems like
they would be the people who have the closest connection to the program,
and who would be responsible for what appears to be a customer support
issue.

OK, didn't know this was just for coding.
I did try the USPS but all I got was a form letter
that showed they didn't even read my letter. Answers
for questions I did ask (and if they didn't advertise
on TV, maybe stamps wouldn't go up)....
