Hi!  I'm trying to upgrade my site from 5.6.2 to 6.0.   I did as I usually do.  I downloaded the upgrade package, then copied the contents to the wwwroot folder.  Then, I tried to browse to my site.  It came up fine...in 5.6.2.   I then tried http://sitename/install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade
but this would not trigger an upgrade.  My debug = false, my autoupgrade=true.  The version in the database is still 5.6.2

I used fiddler to see what it was doing after I do the upgrade url...it's just sitting there.  Nothing is happening in the background.  Sometimes it redirects to my 5.6.2 website.  But no upgrading stuff starts happening.   This hasn't happened to me before.   I also verified that the files seemed to copy over (the last update dates are today).   I also tried restarting IIS to force it to reread web.config, I cleared the cache to ensure that it wasn't pulling my site from there.  

Any suggestions on what I can do to get this upgrade working????

Did you check that the downloaded upgrade.zip file was not marked as BLOCKED when you downloaded it.  It sounds like not all the files of the upgrade package got copied across to your site folder.

If the zip is not unblocked - only some of the files will get unzipped.

That was it...I unblocked the Zip file, then I unzipped to another folder, then copied from the "other folder" to the wwwroot folder and then it finally started upgrading.   I'm still having a problem with a duplicate index but I'm going to try to look around a bit more to find the answer.  THANKS
