Problem with DDRMenu in different page skins (Illegal characters in path)

Hello, I'm facing an issue like this:
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/forums/forumid/163/threadid/488001/scope/posts

But in my case, I have a skin for the homepage and another skin for internal pages, and on the homepage the menu works fine, but on internal pages I get that error (Illegal characters in path, etc).

In both ascx skin files (home and internal pages), I've registered the tagprefix at the begining of the ascx like this:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MENU" Src="~/DesktopModules/DDRMenu/Menu.ascx" %>
And in both skin files I've added the menu like this:

I can't understand what may be wrong, since it works on a page and doesn't on another. Can someone help me?

Re: Problem with DDRMenu in different page skins (Illegal characters in path)

does the folder bootstrapNav excists in your skin folder ?

if it does, does your menudef.xml in that folter point to an excisting xsl file

that are bout the 2 issues that couls cause this message
