Is this one of those problems where the Professional DNN side of the house ignores the Community side of the house? If there is any type of solution to this issue a post here would be greatly appreciated. This problem has apparently been an issue since version 5.1.2 has been released. I can no longer use the Module Definitions or Skins pages without getting the following errors...

Module Definitions page;

Error: Module Definitions is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: C:\inetpub\vhosts\stand-news.com\httpdocs\Admin\ModuleDefinitions\ModuleDefinitions.ascx.vb(61): error BC30311: Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Version'. --->

Skins Page; Error:

Skins is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: C:\inetpub\vhosts\stand-news.com\httpdocs\Admin\Skins\EditSkins.ascx.vb(175): error BC30456: 'GetSkin' is not a member of 'DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.SkinController'. ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: C:\inetpub\vhosts\stand-news.com\httpdocs\Admin\Skins\EditSkins.ascx.vb(175): error BC30456:

These modules are crucial to the scalability of DNN. Without the use of these modules, I will have to do a complete rebuild of a news website. Porting the data for the news archives is going to be a major headache. This installation is no longer usable and I'm not happy about it. Not getting any responses by the development team really sucks.

I had only HTML too - here's what happened, my modules all became "premium" during the upgrade.  To fix it as a host, go to Host/Portals and edit the portal - advanced settings - host settings - move your modules over to the selected modules column.  Rather deep in the weeds if you ask me, not sure why things changed.

Thanks James. Good looking out. There were some available modules in the portal settings, but none were the skins or module definition modules. I actually moved from the selected modules to the available and back again, but I still have the same error messages.
