So NONE? of those files are needed? Does renaming "CONTROLTEMPLATES" directory work?

Hi guys followed the above but even renaming the file does not work. I then got two errors, one for each file. It appears to traverse all ASCX files in that directory. So have moved them to a 'bad' folder therein.

thanks

Actually this should be classified as an SharePoint RTM deployment error because the file should not be in SharePoint RTM because like you rightly said it is not used. I investigated why even when the fix is implemented the error still returns, I was able to establish by use of Reflector that the assembly dll Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal does not actually contain within it a class Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker. Probably because this was depreciated in RTM but used in RC and Beta.

In my opinion the real fix is to rename the file as stated in the update section simply because you are calling a class that does not exist. As of posting this I do not know if a hotfix has been released to fix this.
