DNN fckStyles Error

While experimenting with the wiki component in one of my portals today, I received an error when trying to add a post via the FCK editor, Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.HtmlEditor.FckHtmlEditorProvider.fckStyles'. More specifically:

After messing around with it for a while, I found a workable and easy solution on the DNN forums which amounted to “deleting the fck folder completly from the providers/htmleditorproviders folder and replacing it with the fck folder from the install package.”
