In my case the cause was SQL column collation issues. The database would add its localized collation to the new table text columns added by DotNetNuke which again would cause the other installation steps to fail, so it was not enough to just create the failing SQL manually after the upgrade.

So what I did was specify the collation of the columns causing problems in the relevant places in the SqlDataProvider version files before upgrading.

Example:
ALTER TABLE Portal ALTER COLUMN [BackgroundFile] [nvarchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
GO

There probably is a way to change the default collation of new columns in the database itself, but I already used too much time on this.

Karsten,

did you alter the database collation? this has to be case insensitive and shouldn't be modiefied.

I think the problem could be that my database was created with a default collation set to Danish_Norwegian_CI_AS.

I really should start reading installation manuals.

I decided to try to fix the collation before upgrading, because I have several other DotNetNuke databases to upgrade this weekend and I don't want to have to edit the DNN update scripts manually because of misconfigured database settings.

This T-SQL script fixed my collation:

Alter Database dnn_ghddk set single_user
Alter Database dnn_ghddk --give your database name
Collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS --give collation you want to apply
Alter Database dnn_ghddk set multi_user

Then I upgraded from 04.09.00 to 05.02.00 through these steps:

Upgrade 04.09.05
Upgrade 05.00.00
Upgrade 05.01.00
Upgrade 05.02.00

I also tried upgrading directly to 05.02.00, but then something was not right. The flags for language selection in my skin had disappeared, which is something that also happened in 05.00.00, but then they came back in 05.01.00.
