Hi there,

I got the following error on the first launching Fiddler after installed it on windows 10:

Hello,

In order to stop the exception from popping up, please, go and delete this file - %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Fiddler2\CustomMimeMappings.xml. If this does not fix the issue, please, do not hesitate to contact me back.

Hi,

Whenever I click on 'Composer' tab I get the following error and fiddler hangs. Only way is to kill and restart fiddler:

Root element is missing.

Tried the following and still same error:

1. Deleted the file as suggested above

2. Uninstalled and reinstalled.

3. Uninstalled and deleted every trace of fiddler (even from registry) and installed

Please help,

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Go to "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Fiddler2\Captures\Requests" and remove the filed called "ComposerHistory.raz". This should fix the problem. Keep in mind that this will clear your Composer history.
