If you see this error message in WSS chances are you have an active reference to custom field type but have not installed the field type. The “/_layouts/mngfield.aspx” page will throw this error in the above scenario. Two possible resolutions:
- Visit Central Administration and deploy (or re-deploy) the WSP for the custom field type. For me this is usually http://www.codeplex.com/CustomFieldControls and the Parent Child Field types.
- Remove the Site Column (SPField) objects with object model code. Requires developer skills.
History of /_vti_bin/
In 1996 Microsoft acquired the VTI company specially to help build it’s growing web product line. VTI stands for Vermeer Technologies Incorporated. The ubiquitous familiar folder began with FrontPage extensions and comes directly from what VTI’s developers decided to call it pre-acquisition back in 1996. It remains unchanged today. Now it’s even more visible with the continuation into the SharePoint product line and not likely to go anywhere soon.
Not a technical post but interesting anyway, right?
