I have done a few DNN installations in the past and had no major issues but for the last 2 days have been trying to get a new DNN5 installation completed with no luck.

At first I tried a fresh installation of DNN5 and everything is fine until you get to the database scripts (MS SQL2000) where things get stuck in a loop giving the following error:

Installing Database - Version 5.0.0...Upgrading Database to Version ERROR: See C:\xxx\aaaaaaa\www\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\05.00.00.log for more information...Success
undefined...Success
undefined...Success
undefined...Success
undefined...Success
undefined...Success

This just keeps looping giving the undefined...Success error indefinately. The log referred to is empty when viewed.

OK. So I gave up on this and decided to try installing DNN4.09 and then upgrading that to DNN5. The DNN4 installation went faultlessly so I then tried upgrading that to DNN5 and again the problems start.

This time I get the following error:

Upgrading DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 05.00.00
Current Database Version: 04.09.00

Upgrade Status Report
00:00:00.015 - Upgrading to Version: 5.0.0

Followed by:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the usual Web.Config customErrors mode="Off" page error

However this time the log entries referred to actually contain (respectively) entries including:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Server user 'xxxx_dbo' is not a valid user in database 'msdb'. 

and

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: For DROP INDEX, you must give both the table and the index name, in the form tablename.indexname.
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)

   at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj)

   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

   at DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider.ExecuteScript(String Script, Boolean UseTransactions)

.......
.......
.......System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid column name 'PortalID'.

Any ideas?

Your best bet is to stick with 4.9 and upgrade when DNN 5.0.1 comes out.

Thanks Alex,

I was thinking the same myself. I have actually put off upgrading a couple of other DNN installations because of the issues everyone seems to be having with v5. I'm just glad I didn't try and upgrade one of those existing installs before realising there were some many bugs in DNN5.
