Steps to reproduce:

1. create custom module v 1.0.0 using http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/ template, Create a package. Install module on separate DNN install.

2. update module version to v 1.1.0 (incremeent dll version as well), create a package, install newer version on top of existing version.

Expected: old dll in the dnn bin is overwritten with new dll

Actual result: old sll in the dnn bin is still there, thus upgraid failed

Any ideas?

Same problem with me 

I am working with dnn custom modules from long time, but this problem arrived from start that when we update the module and reinstall the module every thing updated unless the dll file

Is there any ways that we update the .dll file at the time of re-installation of custom module 

I am using custom minifiest for re-uploading the module 

Make sure i did not get any error during updates its working fine even if we uninstall module and reinstall then the dll will be updated successfully 

Regards 

 

Sorted it out right after posting, but never updated the question.

The problem was with the manefest file, I have my node defined incorrectly.

I had multiple assemblies, and had them all under the same node.

WRONG:

 

<assemblies>
          <basePath>bin</basePath>
          <assembly>
            <name>Assembly1.dll</name>
            <name>Assembly2.dll</name>
          </assembly>
        </assemblies>

CORRECT:

<assemblies>
          <basePath>bin</basePath>
          <assembly>
            <name>Assembly1.dll</name>
          </assembly>
          <assembly>
            <name>Assembly2.dll</name>
          </assembly>
        </assemblies>
