Resolution:

The account which I have logged into server is member of Local Administrator Group.

Navigate to “C” drive and change the setting to ,View the hidden files, then we are able to see the “ProgramData” folder.

Open the ProgramData Folder and Metalogix , just delete the “EnvironmentSettings.xml” file and try to open the MetaLogix Console.Now, We won’t get an issue.

If it is not allowed to delete the file. Please follow the below steps, First we need to provide permissions to the current user.

Right click on the Metalogix and select the Properties.
