An error has occurred. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Couldn't load menu style 'admin/Menus/DNNAdmin': System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.DNNCommon.DNNContext.get_ModuleFolder() at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.DNNCommon.PathResolver.Resolve(String path, RelativeTo[] roots) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) ---> System.ApplicationException: Couldn't load menu style 'admin/Menus/DNNAdmin': System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.DNNCommon.DNNContext.get_ModuleFolder() at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.DNNCommon.PathResolver.Resolve(String path, RelativeTo[] roots) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.SkinObject.OnPreRender(EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Its a fresh install so no legacy items left in mix, Suggestions greatly appreciated :)

Andrew, what download did you use - if it was the source package you need to compile it in release mode first to build up all the installable pieces .

David, I've not seen any reports of this happening to non-source package users. Did you existing site have the DDRmenu installed - if so please read http://markxa.com/2011/07/19/ddrmenu-2-0-and-dotnetnuke-6-0/
