Upgrade Error Subtext Version 1.9.5.177 to 2.5.1.20 #261

I am following the subtext screencast and get an error when trying to run an 
upgraded site via Visual Studio 2008 to verify the upgrade. I am pointing the 
web.config to a local restored copy of my production database to test against. 
My plan was to proof it locally and then upgrade the production site on the 
server. The blog is currently set to use a custom skin, not sure if that is 
causing the problem.

I get the page that says the This blog is being upgraded please be patient, 
when I click the please click here to complete the upgrade I get the following 
error:

URL in the Browser = http://localhost:2704/Blog_Upgraded_2.5/HostAdmin/Upgrade/

Can you change the skin your instance is using to one of the default skins? If 
so do you still have the problem?
