Deleting the beta survey module caused my portal to fall over... yikes! 

After some sleuthing and comparing files, I found it was caused by this bit in the web.config:

      <codeSubDirectories>
        <add directoryName="Survey" />
      </codeSubDirectories>

So I changed it back to this from a backed up web.config:

      <!-- register your app_code subfolders to generate granular assemblies during compilation
      <codeSubDirectories>
         <add directoryName="sub-directory name"/>
      </codeSubDirectories>
      -->

And it worked again. So now I'm going to try and delete the module again after restoring from backup. This time I'll remove that bit from the web.config first and see if that stops it falling over.

Ok, that worked, now I'll upload the new module release.. and yep, that uploaded fine.

Does that sound about right.... or will there be something left in a buggy state because of this? I like to keep everything superclean.

If you were running the VB version of the beta you can just upload the new version.

If you had the C# version then remove the entry in the web.config and the survey directory under App_Code and the Survey directory under DesktopModules an dthen upload the new version.

And also for anyone else in this situation, I note that the module won't import content exported from the beta module that I had.. I presume the c# version, so be prepared to rebuild your surveys from scratch.

Can you compare the export from the C# and the VB version and tell me what the difference is? There shouldn't be any.

Thanks

ok, I still had the C# one from yesterday so I compared against my rebuilt one and the only difference was in the version number and the user/date. So I tried it again, but this time I went and did a file sync operation in Filemanager first.. and that did the trick. I can see this is a good reason for having that autosync setting turned on.. tho I'm waiting for 4.36 before doing that because I understand it has some problems.

In any case.. if anyone else is doing this, just resync the files and it'll work :)
