Greetings All!

I upgraded from 4.5 to 4.8 and now certain modules are not working.  For example I cannot add an announcement module.  I get the error:

Error: test is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Announcements.Announcements'. ---> System.Web.HttpParseException: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Announcements.Announcements'. ---> System.Web.HttpParseException: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Announcements.Announcements'. ---> System.Web.HttpException: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Announcements.Announcements'. at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.GetType(String typeName, Boolean ignoreCase, Boolean throwOnError) at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ProcessInheritsAttribute(String baseTypeName, String codeFileBaseTypeName, String src, Assembly assembly) at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.PostProcessMainDirectiveAttributes(IDictionary parseData) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ProcessException(Exception ex) at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseStringInternal(String text, Encoding fileEncoding) at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseString(String text, VirtualPath virtualPath, Encoding fileEncoding) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseString(String text, VirtualPath virtualPath, Encoding fileEncoding) at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseFile(String physicalPath, VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseInternal() at System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.Parse() at System.Web.Compilation.BaseTemplateBuildProvider.get_CodeCompilerType() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvider.GetCompilerTypeFromBuildProvider(BuildProvider buildProvider) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvidersCompiler.ProcessBuildProviders() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvidersCompiler.PerformBuild() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) in C:\proj\DotNetNuke_04.08.02_Source\Library\Components\Skins\Skin.vb:line 492 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

There were no errors during the upgrade.  Any help is appreciated.

Kind Thanks,

Brandon,

Many thanks my friend.  That was it!  A bunch of the desktop modules that were in 4.5 are missing in 4.8.  Is there source out there for the desktop modules that normally come with DNN.  I can see in the various versions of DNN I have downloaded in the past it seems each has a DesktopModules project in the library folder of each source download and these modules vary from version to version.  I guess the best thing to do is just keep each DeskTopModule in my source control and build as needed.

Thanks Again!
