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.

May be you did some manual steps and removed/moved some files, or upgraded, or...
