In preparation for doing some source code revisions, Help v03.00.02 has been setup and compiled successfully, with no changes done to the code (yet). Even so, it throws the following error when run on DNN v4.9.4. Could anyone please shed some light on what the problem is?

FYI, there isn't any DotNetNuke.modules.Help.SqlDataprovider.dll in the bin, which others have reported as being the cause of a similar error.

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Help.DataProvider' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Help.DataProvider' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

I gotta' stop having a conversation with myself .

If anyone needs the missing file just let me know, I went ahead and put one together.

Have you found the solution? I'm looking for that file too.

Any help will be apreciatted. Thanks in advance
