On WH4L I used their canned install script to successfully create a DNN 4.4.0 instance on my remote site. A few days later DNN 4.4.1 was released so I used the 4.4.1 StarterKit to create a DNN 4.4.1 instance on my local machine (using VS 2005). I then FTP'd the resulting DNN 4.4.1 directories from my local machine to the remote site. My subsequent visit to the remote site's home page tripped the expected "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" change to execute and I received the hoped-for "Upgrade Complete" info that included the following:

CURRENT ASSEMBLY VERSION: 04.04.01

CURRENT DATABASE VERSION: 04.04.00

and when I clicked on the "CLICK HERE TO ACCESS YOUR PORTAL" link everything appeared fine with the upgraded remote site. I also exercised various pages on the remote site successfully.

The problem is that upon a subsequent visit this evening to the remote site the same "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" page reappeared and the remote site apparantly reran the upgrade script.  It now seems that whenever the remote DNN site is restarted - either indirectly or directly (by clicking on RESTART APPLICATION on the Host Settings screen) - this causes the same "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" screen to reappear along with the same "Upgrade Complete" info to appear as before.

How do I eliminate the need for this "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" screen to keep reappearing?

Progress made:

Given that each time my remote DNN restarted it triggered the "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" screen to reappear, and assuming that the 4.4.1 files that I had previously FTP'd were correct then I guessed that whenever DNN is restarted it first checks somewhere to see if there is a discrepancy between the HTML files and some version bit in the database. Inspecting the database I found a table cleverly named "dbo.Version" (doh) containing a single row whose columns were as follows:

VersionID=1, Major=4, Minor=4,Build=0

Hence, since my HTML was 4.4.1 then the startup logic invoked after an application restart (maybe every time?) must compare the HTML and database versions and - if a discrepency exists - initiates the "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" screen to process. I tested this theory by changing the aforementioned value of Build from Build=0 to Build=1 and then restarted DNN, and this time the "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" screen did NOT reappear and the site performed normally. (I double-checked this theory by changing the Build value back to 0 and again the "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" screen again reappeared after a DNN restart).

So, my upgraded 4.4.1 system now seems intact but my new question is:

...why didn't the "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install" logic not update the "dbo.Version" table with the new Build value? Is my database now truly OK after upgrading my HTML from 4.4.0 to 4.4.1?
