Thanks Bill!

DDRMenu wasn't getting flagged in any  way until that last upgrade step and the version wasn't shown as an upgrade available so it looks like it might now be the sole issue with getting it all back up to speed with the lastest DNN.

Quite excited as I've been wanting to upgrade it for a long time now but one 3rd party module has been holding it back. Side stepping that one and things can roll again!

Cheers

It is much better but still not 100%.

The updated site pretty much runs but the DDRMenu still said it failed in the DNN Upgrade.  I installed the version for 4.9.5 first and have now tried the one for DNN v.6 but it won't do a repair install and fails.  Not sure if it's needed anyway as the site is mostly running ok on first glance.

The problem I'm experience though is happening when I now try to go to Host Settings.  The Event Viewer (works fine) shows:

I'm unable to access that page, not sure what other pages may have issues yet either.

 It feels so close but still having the same error and the message shown on the Host Settings page is:

Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: An item with the same key has already been added. ---> System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource) at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at System.Linq.Enumerable.ToDictionary[TSource,TKey,TElement](IEnumerable`1 source, Func`2 keySelector, Func`2 elementSelector, IEqualityComparer`1 comparer) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleControlController.GetModuleControlsByModuleDefinitionID(Int32 moduleDefID) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.BindData() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.OnLoad(EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
 

 A general exception is also appearing in the event/log viewer saying:

Any clues there?

Thanks

Just looking at this last error message (An item with the same key has already been added - DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleControlController.GetModuleControlsByModuleDefinitionID),
I wonder if you may have duplicate module definitions in your DB's Module table. I've seen similar errors recently in these threads:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/forumid/108/threadid/437675/scope/posts.aspx
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/forumid/-1/postid/328438/scope/posts.aspx
though neither are identical to yours.

Thanks Juan

 Unfortunately the error is still there although I found duplicate module definitions which I adjusted and cleared.  No odd folders either so back to square one.
