I have an existing DNN installation (7.3) but I would like to get my hands on one of the latest nightly builds to upgrade this in place, but all I can find is the install package for nightly builds.

Is it possible to do an in-place upgrade by using the full install package, and if so, what is the process? Or, is there perhaps a way to "convert" the install package to an upgrade package, i.e., by removing files from it?

If neither of those options are possible, is the difference between the two distribution manifests documented someplace?

Thanks in advance,



Bob

note: you should not use nightly builds to do upgrades of production sites as we do not support upgrades between nightly builds. If however you just want to test something in your dev/test environment to see if the next release fixes an issue, then you can use an install package. Whilst it's not exact (as it will overwrite a few config/settings files), you can just delete the web.config file in the install package and use it as an upgrade. Alternatively you can use github (http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/page/...) to pull down the latest source and compile it in release mode to create a package you can install with (again remove web.config) and debug

I should also say that we are about 95% done on creating an expedited 7.3.1 release - if QA testing does not show up anything new we hope to have this out in around 48hrs.

Thanks again everyone for the assistance.  I decided to revert back to version 7.1.0.  Once I do this I can load the site.   I want to concentrate on resolving issues first here and then try the upgrade again.    Two things....  I noticed that when I log in  I occasionally get a screen (might be splash screen) that has the same error I would get when I upgraded. (DNN Error)   I checked my settings in Appearance and my splash page says "Not Specified"   Do I need one.  

Also I have a ton of these errors in the event viewer that says whats below.   Any ideas how to get rid of them.

Error:

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36

you do not need to specify a splash page. As to the error, not much idea on that one -I wasn't aware that method was still being used as it was obsoleted some time back (basically it was the logic that found the "ModuleContent" field of a container so that content could be injected into it) - it should just work.
