System.Windows.Application exception after server upgrade

Hi, our server hosting TeamCity was upgrade to Win Server 2012 R2 Standard (from Win Server 2008 I think).

I upgraded to TeamCity Professional 2019.1.3 (build 66439), but am unable to do anything because of the exception being thrown below (also being thrown before I tried to upgrade).

I have had a decent search for the same issue but haven't found anything as yet.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks, Luke

Answering my own question here.

I discovered that the TFS Admin Console was also not working (wouldn't start), and then found the same problem here:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/aspnet/en-US/8d314e13-59e7-43a2-b5db-e947b8cc912d/team-foundation-server-administration-console-not-opening-tfs-2013-update-4?forum=tfsadmin

The solution on that thread is to reinstall the .NET framework and restart the server; I installed .NET 4.7.2 and everything worked again.
