I kep getting an error when trying to install the survey module. It was working but started to error loading module for users. I tried to unistall the module with the delete files option on but it errors so I uninstalled without the option. Nothing I have tried will allow a re-install of the module.

Here is my error

ExceptionSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.Config.AddCodeSubDirectory(String name) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.CreateModuleFile(PaFile File, PaFolder Folder) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.CreateFiles(PaFolder Folder) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.Install(PaFolderCollection folders) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

Thanks

The official module is a VB module. Are you trying to instal the C# demo version?

I think this may be related to the fact that the Survey module is using legacy sql connection settings.. Can you check your web.config and ensure that you have the sql connection string set correctly in both places?

The new version 04.00.85 that is going through the release process will fix this.

To try the install again (first ensure that you have the sql connection string set correctly in both places),

1. Remove (if they are there):

bin\DotNetNuke.Modules.Survey.dll
bin\DotNetNuke.Modules.Survey.SqlDataProvider.dll

2. Delete all files in the directory at : ..\DesktopModules\Survey

3. Delete all files in the directory at (but don't delete the directory): ..\App_code\Survey

4. Go to Host then SQL and paste theis script (make sure you have "Run as Script" checked:
