I'm having trouble with upgrading a 7.3.2 site to later versions. Since upgrades weren't working, I started going step by step, and the first step results in major problems.
For the upgrade itself, no errors were reported in either the installerLogXXXXXX.resources file or in the sqldataprovider's log.resources files. However, visiting the site reveals quite a few problems.
The site "works" in that it loads, skins are applied to pages, and navigation works.
There are a number of pages in which the navigation pages are totally empty, and in Edit mode, not even the edit control icons are shown. Just blank. Viewing in Layout mode does show the content pane names correctly. If you look at the Page Settings for one of these pages (getting to Modules) from the page settings on that Admin, Page Management page the modules are there. If, however, I try Page Settings from the actual page, I get errors like this:
Error: is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Value of '12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM' is not valid for 'SelectedDate'. 'SelectedDate' should be between 'MinDate' and 'MaxDate'. Parameter name: SelectedDate ---> System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Value of '12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM' is not valid for 'SelectedDate'. 'SelectedDate' should be between 'MinDate' and 'MaxDate'. Parameter name: SelectedDate at Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker.set_SelectedDate(Nullable`1 value) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Tabs.ManageTabs.BindTab() in d:\Websites\npi-2017\DesktopModules\Admin\Tabs\ManageTabs.ascx.cs:line 382 at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Tabs.ManageTabs. (EventArgs e) in d:\Websites\npi-2017\DesktopModules\Admin\Tabs\ManageTabs.ascx.cs:line 1538 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
I get this behavior on pages where the blank content pane issue is present, but not on pages where modules are shown correctly and edit mode shows the action icons.
Admin pages that exhibit this problem include:
- Admin, Event Viewer
- Admin, Search Admin
- Admin, Search Engine Sitemap
- Admin, Site Wizard
- Admin, Solutions Explorer
A lot of these errors seem to be:
Could not load type '''.

at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Pane.InjectModule(ModuleInfo module)
at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Pane pane, ModuleInfo module)
Admin, File Management shows this error:
Error: File Management is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '4' Key being added: '4' ---> System.ArgumentException: Item has already been added.

(EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
So ... I'm looking for suggestions on how to fix this, and how this might have happened in the first place. I'd like to revert, make some changes where needed, and redo the upgrade.
Thanks!
