You know it would really help if you included line 500 of the Project.Global consructor - lc.
That line is commented. I am not sure what its saying 500. Anyways, I got it fixed. it was a looking for a key in config file that was not there, hence null reference. - sylar

The static constructor for Product.Global is raising a NullReferenceException. This is likely due to some hard coded value that is different or unavailable on that system.

Potential candidates would be localization issues (trying to parse strings in the wrong culture) causing a value to not be initialized, a missing configuration value, or anything else that is occurring within the static initialization of that type.
