I just installed DNN 6.2 on my localhost.  Everything went smoothly and the site loaded fine.  But when I attempt to navigate to Admin==>Site Settings, I get the following error:

 

A critical error has occurred. The type initializer for 'FormatterGenerator' threw an exception.
Any help would be appreciated.

which version of .Net framework is your application pool running (you should use .Net 2 having .Net framework 3.5 SP1 installed or .Net 4.0).
Make sure you unblocked the downloaded install package prior to unzipping it (if not using Web Platform Installer or WebMatrix).

Oh Boy.  Thanks very much Sebastian.  I had forgotten to unblock the install zip file before extracting it.  That did the trick!

Any ideas on how to fix this after an upgrade? Having this problem pop up intermittently on the Admin settings page and on some other pages at times.

Sebastian,

I get this error after a new install on my Arvixe.com host for 6.2 with .Net 4.0 Integrated mode.

Any other suggestions?
