Hi all,

Made a mistake when installing the package "Mail with fields" from Ismail. I by accident created two data types with the same name and control. Now I can't access any of my document types or see any data types.(makes it hard to remove the duplicate)

I get this: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'MailList' Key being added: 'MailList'

I have tried to remove the entry direct from the DB from the table cmsDataType. Not working

Is there any way to fix this...

If not can I move my old settings like Media and document types to a new install?


Anyone?

Thanks
sjors

Thx for ur support!

I have given up on recovery. Luckily I could copy all my template, xls and css data. So pretty soon I'm back in business.
Are the developers aware of this bug or should I report it? With all the talent in umbraco team it cant be a problem to develop a validation before a new data type is inserted.

Is there anyway to import my old media files? I have the images and the folder structure.

Cheers,
