Ok, so one of my developers finally convinced me that it was time to upgrade the DNN core to the latest version.  I always said if it wasn't broke... well you know the rest.  I have that opinion apparantly for good reason.  After the upgrade the site wouldn't load at all just ASP errors.  I was able to find a thread reguarding that and now have the site partially functioning.  Now my problem though is I can't log in.  This is the message I get.

A critical error has occurred.
The file '/BocesWeb/DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/LiveID/Login.ascx' does not exist.

I have seen a blog entry about how to disable the LiveID login but that won't help since I can't log in to do it!!!!!  I checked the directory that it is referencing above and of course it cant find the file because the LiveID directory doesn't exist the only thing there is DNN.

Although I didn't get any help I managed to solve the problem myself and I hope that this might be helpful if someone else runs into this.  What you need to do is disable both the LiveID and OpenID authenticiation mechanisims.  Since I couldn't login to my portal the fix had to be made in the database.

So to disable those mechanisims you need to find the Authentication table in your database.  I'm using MSSQL2005 so its called dbo.Authentication.  There are three records in the table you need to changed the IsEnabled column to false for both the LiveID and OpenID records and there you go!

I tried to do this and found only one record in dbo.Authentication: AuthenticationType="DNN"

I did load the full 4.6.2 install package downloaded from sourceforge. The LiveID and OpenID providers were in zips under install/package and the install seems not to unzip them. I get this error. Any ideas?
