I have a site that I recently updated all the way from 3.2 to 6.1.2. The upgrades seemed to go fine, there were a few minor errors that had to do with some records in the Files table that had duplicate FolderId/FileName values, but other than that there were no obvious problems at all.

 However, when i try to go to the Skins admin page I get the error below and I cannot modify the skins at all.

Any suggestions?

For future reference to anyone else who encounters this error:

The table dbo.ModuleControls has a column for ControlSrc that defines where the control is located. That record had not been updated correctly and was still pointing to the old DNN 4.x location of the file. As soon as I updated that record to have DesktopModules/Admin/Skins/editskins.ascx as the ControlSrc, the Skins page started working again.

(Well, as soon as I made that change and then restarted the app pool to clear out the previously cached value)
