If this is not the right forum, I do apologize.

Recently, I have been charged with getting our two DNN installations current. One was DNN 3.x, and the other was DNN 4.x. I installed the upgrade to 4.9, but am having trouble getting the install script to run. I modified both web.configs (per upgrade instructions), but when I try to run the install, all I get ins a blank screen.

Any ideas?

I believe it may be a database issue... troubleshooting now. Any ideas how to fix?

I tried the fix here: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/107/postid/176832/scope/posts/Default.aspx but it didn't quite work. Ended up adding DLLs one at a time. The SQL Provider DLLs cause the website to throw errors.
