I'm running 4.1 SP1, upgraded from 4.1, upgraded from 4.0. When I click on New User from the Administration --> Users page I receive this error. Can someone help me out?

Hello Mark,

The error you get is probably caused by the upgrade process not doing its job properly.

Can you tell me if you have a record in sf_meta_type_descriptions that looks something like this:

id - 445278DC-F303-4BEC-8589-E2A7446C610C
app_name - //
meta_type_id - 638670CC-B540-4FD3-ADB0-101899D1630A
user_friendly_name - Basic profile
description - NULL
voa_version - 1

Also you need a record in sf_meta_types with id equal to the meta_type_id above. We have some clients reporting that doing a fresh upgrade the issue goes away.

Greetings,
Victor Velev
