3.2.2 -> 3.3.5 upgrade error

I just tried to upgrade from 3.2.2 to 3.3.5. It said it went ok. I was warned that I had duplicate users. Could that be what is causing the following error?

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' Application.

Re: 3.2.2 -> 3.3.5 upgrade error

I just upgraded my local machine from 3.2.2 to 3.3.5 and got some strange behavior. There was an error in the SqlDataProvider installation for 3.02.03.SqlDataProvider. Here's the info from the log file:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: There is already an object named 'dnn_GetOnlineUsers' in the database.
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
   at DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider.ExecuteADOScript(String SQL)
   at DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider.ExecuteScript(String Script, Boolean UseTransactions)

The rest went OK with no errors. So I logged into the database with QueryAnalyzer and manually ran the script after changing it from a CREATE to an ALTER just in case the dnn_GetOnlineUsers sproc was changed.

When I visit the portal after the install finishes some of the links have a [L] in front of them. For example, the Search link looks like [L]Search, likewise for [L]Login, [L]Register, [L]Terms Of Use, and [L]Privacy Statement. If I log in so I can see additional links such as the admin menu almost all of them have the [L]. Any ideas?

Re: 3.2.2 -> 3.3.5 upgrade error

In your web.config is a setting for ShowMissingKeys, set that to false.

ShowMissingKeys="false"
