I just upgraded to the latest forum module... Now I get the following message:

A critical error has occurred.
The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.DataProvider' threw an exception.

Here is the log:

I finally decided I would just delete the forum module entirely and reinstall; however, when I try to delete (uninstall) the module, I get the following error and it won't let me delete.

Error: Edit Module Definition is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\Domains\LepMed.DNNPortal.Web\bin\DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.dll' is denied. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\Domains\LepMed.DNNPortal.Web\bin\DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.dll' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.File.Delete(String path) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ModuleDefinitions.EditModuleDefinition.cmdDelete_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Brian, the initial error looks related to the site attempting to load a now removed dll (with your upgrade). There are a number of reasons this can happen, depends on your hosting environment. That said, usually a restart of the application and/or resetting the web.config or IIS can fix this.

Your next issue can be for a number of reasons non-Forum related. Permissions on the file, something attempting to use the file during time of your uninstall, etc.
