Looks like I'm out of luck.  I've so far been able to get most of the errors taken care of by removing some mods.  I'm only left with one mod (which doesn't have an uninstaller, so will have to do that manually).  Then I can reinstall those 3 mods and I should be good to go!

BOY have I learned MY lesson!!

I wanted to thank everyone on here for all of their assistance, it was greatly appreciated.  My users thank you also, although they are grumbling at me :)

You did better than most because you were wise to take a database backup and copy your files. I encourage all users to test out new versions before deciding to upgrade and certainly always verify that mods you use will work with a new version.

Best advice I can offer is to set up a test board in a folder at your site and test it out first before upgrading to ensure it works as expected. Glad you got it sorted in the end.

Thank you RedOne :)  I have this habit of being too impatient.  And like you said, I did get rather lucky as there was only one corrupted file and that wasn't too bad to re-do once I knew which file to deal with.  I was quite impressed with the new version, and can't wait to load it up once there is more mods support.
I'm back up 100% and things are again running smoothly.
