Upgraded site from dnn335 to 484 and then installed AD provider 1003...  AD was previously functioning on the 335 site.  AD1003 installs fine, but when going to Admin->Authentication, the AD module throws the following error and the Authentication Type drop down isn't populated.

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) 
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Not sure where the drop down is supposed to be populated from, but I suspect that those values aren't where they're supposed to be... wanted to look in the source, but the source doesn't contain the source...  can anyone help?  Also, the web.config file is setup properly.

Thanks...

This is because of the separation of the provider from the core. If you look in the Module Settings table and find the SettingName "AD_ProviderTypeName" and make sure the the value is "DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.ADSIProvider, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory". Also you might want to make sure the old .dll files aren't stuck in your bin directory as I seem to remember others running into problems with that.

The source is there but it's in the .resources file which is really a .zip file. If you install the source package to your portal the .vb files are automatically extracted.

Thanks Mike, changing the module setting and getting rid of the stale dll's worked.
