The following error has been showing up in our error log for months.  It happens just after the application start event occurs.  It is obvious that it is trying to load the module that contains the Glinks module contained in the Thayer.Glinks.dll as this *.dll is not in the \bin directory.  The problem is that we uninstalled this module months ago and it does not show up in our module definitions. 

The fact that it is using reflection to create a type contained in the Thayer.Glinks.dll makes me suspect  that it is trying to load or compile a control that contains a reference to the Thayer.Glinlks.dll when the application starts....

I've done a search for the word Thayer in

1) machine.config and web.config

2) all files under our web site portal root directory

and I get nothing

and

3)  deleted a very old temporary directory under C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files

that contained a reference to this dlll

I am trying to clean up events that are recorded in our error log. I can't figure why it is still trying to load the Thayer.Glinks dll.  Any ideas about where I could look to determine why DNN appears to be trying to load this *.DLL on application start (or just thereafte) even though it is no longer one of DNNs installed modules.  We uninstalled this module over 1 year ago.

Source:

Look in the Attributes column of the EventQueue table for a reference to the missing assembly name. The IsComplete column will also show a False value of an IUpgradable event has not been processed. Once the entry is found, you can either change IsComplete to True or delete the row entirely.

There might also have been a scheduled task associated with the module. I would also look in the TypeFullName column of the Schedule table for a related entry.
