Fixing: One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to List settings page to delete these fields.


Issue:

Just Now I got this error “One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to List settings page to delete these fields” when trying to access one of the deployed sites after having deployed WSP files in SharePoint 2010.

Solution:


1.  Go to Site Actions, Site Settings and Site Collection features under Site Collection Administration.
2.  Deactivate the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature
3.  Go back to http://portalsite/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx
4.  Go to List, List Settings and Delete this list (If the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature is not deactivated this option will not be visable)
5.  After deleting the list go back to Site Actions, Site Settings, and Site Collection features
6.  Activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature (Note: If you recieve this error:
Column Limit Exceeded.
There are too many columns of the specified data type. Please delete some other columns first. Note that some column types like numbers and currency use the same data type.
7.  The SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature will automatically recreate the list.
Go back to http://portalsite/relationship%20list/allitems.aspx and varify that the column GroupGuid now has a column of type GUID instead of text.
Now go back to the site you were trying to access and you should no loger get that error message “One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to List settings page to delete these fields”
