DNN Forums Upgrade - The type initializer for DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.DataProvider

I was getting this error after trying to upgrade my DotNetNuke Forums module from a 3.* version to a 04.04.03. The error refers to a dll that is no longer valid from the old version. After spending some time trying to figure the error out, I ended up having to uninstall the old version and then install a fresh copy of the new version.

(WARNING - Unless you do some backing up and restoring of your Forums data, you will probably lose your existing posts. Keep this in mind.)

Anyone know of an easier way of getting the new version installed without having to uninstall the old one?
