The scenario is that I have a solution deployed to Central Administration (Web Application-scoped). The solution modifies the web.config of the target Web Application, modifying existing entries.
However, if the Foundation Web Application service is not started on the server hosting Central Administration, how should I go about accessing the web.config to read the existing values? I end up getting a "File not found" error message in this scenario.
