Hi,

I just upgraded from version 4.7.0 to version 4.8.0. The upgrade seemed to go OK, I didn't see any error messages during the upgrade process. When I navigate to my site, the home page loads the way I expected it to load. However, when I try to log into my site I get the following error message:

"A critical error has occurred.
Could not load the assembly 'DotNetNuke.Authentication.LiveID'. Make sure that it is compiled before accessing the page."

Any clues as to what may have gone wrong with this upgrade?

Thanks in advance,

  TC

Hi Mike,

I checked the mentioned folders and it seems that neither the 4.7.0 and 4.8.0 installation have the DotNetNuke.Authentication.LiveID.dll file in the BIN directory. I'm a little confused though as there does not seem to be a sub-folder called "Providers" in the BIN folder - should there be one?  However, both installations do have the following files in the DesktopModules\AuthenticationServices\LiveID directory:

license.txt

Login.ascx

Logoff.ascx

Settings.ascx

I will take a look at the database and see what may be there - I'll get back to you...

Thanks for your help.

There should be a providers folder in your bin directory. If you look the install files you downloaded you should find the .zip files for both in the Install/Package directory. It sounds like they failed when they went to install but you can still install them manually if you want to use them under Host->Host Settings->Authentication Services. Are you using an ObjectQualifier or running the database as the user account instead of .dbo? I know there was a problem with one of the sql procedures with 4.6.0 and 4.6.2 but I thought it had been fixed for 4.7.0 and 4.8.0.
