After configuring Database Archiving, errors generate from Setup Assistant and Database Setup

Symptom

 When running Setup Assistant or Database Setup after configuring database archiving in System Administration, various errors are generated preventing the creation of the database tables. This is due to the application.config file being corrupted. From Setup Assistant, the following warning was encountered:
