Hey guys, i am at my wits end here and don't know where else to go to find answers.. I had a raid controller fail on my server. Luckily i had all the important stuff backed up. I reloaded the server with the new controller and in my attempt to reinstall my DNN website i am getting a really ugly error that won't let me go any farther. Here is the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Code5Systems.formMaster (1)' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Now, i contacted Code 5 about this. here is that forum posting:

You will also see the current stack trace on that site as well. I went so far as to pull an old backup of the site before i upgraded to the 5.01.02 version of DNN thinking that may be it. The version i reverted to is 4.9.4. Still the same error persists. The website address is www.mesh-tek.com. All child portals are plagued by the same error.
Now i installed a blank copy of DNN version 4.9.4 on the server and it is up and running as expected. I even installed the module listed above without any issue and created a small form to test it and everything works as expected. After doing this, i compared the files from the module in the 2 DNN folders and they showed to be the same information. i went ahead and copied the working module into the nonfunctional module along with the DLL's in the bin directory that it put in place. Still exact same error. I am really leaning towards this being a database issue, but what i don't understand is how this worked before the crash... approximately 3 days ago in the 5.01.02 version. And now it is not working at all.
What is more interesting, when i attempt to install a fresh copy of 5.1.2 it fails when updating the sql database. When i try and upgrade my new 4.9.4 version is also failes in a similar fashion. I am using MS SQL Express running the default instance using mixed authentication. Not sure if this has anything to do with it. Could be a permissions issue as seeing the SID from the old sql server are gone, but i really have no clue.
Any help whatsoever would be so very much appreciated!!! I apoligize in advance for my long windedness here, but wanted to lay out what i've done. Who knows.. it may just need another pair of eyes to see what im missing!!
