    Install error on all umbraco versions: NullReferenceException

    Hi,

    in this morning I would install a new clean umbraco 6.1.6 instance, but after download the zip file from Contribute section on our.umbraco and will start this with webmatrix I get the following NullReferenceException:



    I have tested now with another versions (6.1.2, 6.2.0, 6.2.1, 7.1.0) but every time I get the same exception. After this I opened Visual Studio 2012 Professional and install 6.1.6 with nuGet. But If I run the project I get the same exception. I have created many new projects and install a lot of other versions with nuGet. But everytime with every version I have no luck. I never had problems to install umbraco or to start. I have now repair Visual Studio 2012, but without luck.

    Has anyone an idea to solve this? On the way, I use Windows 8.1 Pro.

    Best regards

    Sören

    Hi Sören

    Is this a new machine or have you installed Umbraco successfully on it before? If it's a new machine make sure that all dependencies are present.

    Hi Jan,

    no, it's not an new machine. I have installed Umbraco successfully on it over 30 times before in the last month.

    Hi Sören

    Ok - Has there been any upgrades of the system since the last install of Umbraco? Or installation of some software like AVG antivirus?

    Hi Jan,

    I have not install software since last install of Umbraco. But there are a lot of Windows Upgrades in the last two weeks. Maybe it depends so together. Any upgrades are very important, so I would like this not uninstall after opportunity once. I uninstall Visual Studio now and install it again. Perhaps this will solve the problem.

    Hi Sören

    Yeah, could perhaps be related to some updates - Too bad that my german skills are not what they used to be. I think that the error explanation in english could perhaps provide at better clue :)

    Looking forward to hearing how you progress.

    Hi Jan, 

    I had uninstall and install Visual Studio again and I restarted the .net framework. But nothing changes. The error explanation in english means: 
    Object reference not set to an object instance.

    Hi Jan,

    I have solved it :-) It's unbelievable... 

    A few days ago I have restructure my project folders on my machine. The path of my new general project root folder contains the # char. And if the path contains the # char, then is throw the NullReferenceException.
