Whilst working on a recently upgraded SharePoint 2010 site (database attach upgrade) I attempted to modify an existing web part. As soon as the page went into edit mode I was presented with the following SharePoint error: “One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.”
This appears to be a random bug which seems to occur with some sites after they have been upgraded and is related to a list called ‘Relationships List’.
To fix this de-activate the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure Feature in the sites settings, delete the Relationships List and re-activate the feature.
In my instance this is on the root site and there is no option to delete the list as you would normally see. Am I missing a step in deleting the list?

Hi Rusty
I don’t think that this list is accessible via the UI, you need to use the URL to get to the list instead, for example http://%5Bsite name]/Relationships%20List/AllItems.aspx
Hope this helps

Realize this is an older post, however, others may still have same issue.
There may be a simpler solution. Following the upgrade, SharePoint may have tried to reinstall the SharePoint Solution and gotten hung-up.
Try going to Central Administration –> System Settings –> Manage Farm Solutions.
Cancel the deployment. Then Redeploy the solution.
This cleared-up the issues for me.
