I'm installing an upgrade to DNN 4.06.02 from 4.5.5. I've tried various ways of doing this and I always end up with the same error (See Below). I've made only the barest changes to the release config file before renaming it to web.config, just the sql setting as well as the keys. Anyone with any experience or insigtht into this error that wishes to offer feedback it would be most appreciated... Thanks..
