NullReferenceException after applying 4.1 Fix 3

I updated our FileVista installation to 4.1 Fix 3 yesterday. That appears to have broken the ability to create direct links. When I right-click on a file (in IE 7/8 and Firefox 3.6), I get the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

The "Application Settings" and "License Information" buttons are broken as well. Same error as above.

Strange problem but I guess this should fix your issue:
Please download FileVista-v4.1-WebDeploy.zip from our site and replace all files and subfolders under your FileVista folder except App_Data subfolder which contains your current settings and configuration.
