I am a DNN Newbie but very experienced (i.e. old) software development geek.

DotNetNuke 4.3.5

Visual Studio 2005 - I have the full version and not the Express Version

My development machine is Windows XP Home

Module works fine when logged in as host or admin.  Generates an error message when not logged in.

I simply created a new module and renamed the directories and tried to install it per default instructions.  The exception I get is:

I've searched the boards and the web and it seems that module development has changed quite dramatically recently and I haven't been able to find a problem quite like mine.

Any Suggestions?
