Hello, I'm a first time installer. I think I followed the directions carefully yet after installtion is complete I get the following error:

 This error happens on the skindefaults.vb page in the following block of code:

 

#

Region "Constructors"

 

 

 

 

dnndoc.Load(filePath)

 

_folder = defaultElement.Attributes(

_defaultName = defaultElement.Attributes(

_adminDefaultName = defaultElement.Attributes(

 

Public Sub New(ByVal DefaultType As SkinDefaultType)Dim nodename As String = [Enum].GetName(DefaultType.GetType(), DefaultType).ToLowerDim filePath As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.ApplicationMapPath, glbDotNetNukeConfig)Dim dnndoc As New XmlDocument()Dim defaultElement As XmlNode = dnndoc.SelectSingleNode("/configuration/skinningdefaults/" & nodename)"folder").Value"default").Value"admindefault").ValueEnd Sub

#

End Region What should I do to get past this error?

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This error occures on this line:

_folder = defaultElement.Attributes(

"folder").Value

Hey,

I think you meant to paste your error message in - but I can't see it. Would you mind pasting it again?

Take care,
