    This seems like strange error. ExCM does not provide a page or assembly named 'InvitationExpireDate'. Do you receive an error through the UI when sending an invitation. In addition, can you commend on the click stream (how you navigated to the invitation page) and the page inputs provided when sending the invitation.

    Here is how I get to the invite user page:

    1. Site Actions > Site Settings

    2. Manage Users in Authorization Store

    3. Actions > Invite Users

    4. Enter Email, select permission then click finish

     I get Unknow error in the UI

    First, can you please turn off SharePoint's friendly error message feature and resend an invitation. Please post the detailed error message here. You can turn off SharePoint's friendly error message feature using these instructions...

    It appears a valid From address for your mail message could not be found. The From value is dependant on the type of user used to make the invitation request. When an invitation is sent with a windows account the current user's SharePoint e-mail address is used. In all other cases the system's outgoing e-mail address is used. Please check both the outgoing e-mail settings and your user's SharePoint e-mail address (this is not the AD e-mail address).

    (Configure outgoing e-mail settings)

    (User E-Mail Address)
    Site Settings -> People and Groups -> (Click Account Name)
