I am working on a project which was previously on DNN 6. Because of security reasons the DNN framework need to be upgraded to DNN 7. To that I firstly upgraded it to 6.2.8, website was working fine without any issues. Then after upgrading to DNN 7.3.2 it gives a 500 error when I try to login.

In the exception, it says that EnterpriseLibrary.Validation file cannot be found. Can someone please help me to solve this problem.

Here is the stack trace,

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Can you add more context about the code that gives the error? It will help users answer your question faster and better. Thanks. - raviolicode
I couldn't find the location that the error might be coming, it has to be something wrong with the DNN. I added the error which I'm getting. I can go to the login page but once I click login that error comes. - Madushan Amarasinghe

I fixed the problem by my own and I just had to install the correct version of the EnterpriseLibrary.Validation to support .Net v4.0.
