Hi

I have just tried to upgrade from 4.8.4 to 5.4.4 on a hosted server and i'm getting the following message when i perform the install.

I have seem a suggestion about the Bin\DotNetNuke.dll version but checking mine and it is 5.4.4.2

 I can't find a solution to this on the forum so would appreciate any comments that will resolve the problem

Thanks

Wheelie
