Dear @Christian_Dahlqvist ,

Kindly provide your suggestion to resolve the issue

This forum is manned by volunteers, so please do not ping people not already involved in the thread. Also please be patient. If you have not received any answer with a few working days it it usually fine to bump the thread to get some more attention.

I do not know what this exception means, so you will need to wait for someone more knowledgeable in that are to have a look. The more detail and context you provide, the better the chance of getting a good response. Just showing an exception does not necessarily give anyone a lot to go on.

As @Christian_Dahlqvist said, please provide all details about what you did.
May be you did some manual steps and removed/moved some files, or upgraded, or...
