We've encountered core framework problems with a fresh install of both 4.4.0 (see http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/118/threadid/100852/scope/posts/Default.aspx ) and 4.4.1 (see http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/118/threadid/105935/scope/posts/Default.aspx).

This begs the question: What is the best, most stable DNN version to install fresh?  Or, should a previous version be installed, then a specific upgrade be applied?

Please, any knowledgeable users, help would be *most appreciated*.

Thank you :)

4.4.1 is pretty stable in my opinion.  Installing earlier than 4.4 isn't a great idea - you don't have some of the latest updates and patches and miss out on the performance improvements.

Something that was amiss in my site after upgrading to 4.4.1 was that webresource.axd was not included in the compression exclude list in Host settings.  It was making a few things wonky.  After fixing that things have worked fine.

Clean installs of both 4.4 and 4.4.1 have worked fine in my test environments.

cheers Shawn.  Have you any idea as to what's causing the error as noted in:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/118/threadid/105935/scope/posts/Default.aspx
?

It's with a fresh 4.4.1 install.  Might it be something to do with specific host settings?  Not too much was altered...

I personally would not go with anything other than 4.4.1.  I have completed 8 fresh installs of 4.4.1, and have upgraded 3 4.3.5 sites to 4.4.1 and not once have I encountered an upgrade problem.  The only problem I has was with compression which was easily resolved.

Hi Mitchel,

I'm having a problem with 4.4.1 which may be compression-related.  Have you any comments on the "Object-reference" issue I'm having, documented at: http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?ID=5030 ?  How did you solve your issue? 

cheers :)
