Hi ,

I am working for  a large client who is currrently using  DNN version 4.2 in production.

I was pushing them towards moving to DNN 5.

There were some new restrictions put in place by web hosting teams of the company , they would not allow the website to write files to its virtual directories.

So i was thinking of xcopying DNN5 as part of deployment and try to migrate users / roles etc and some content pages too , from 4.2 to 5.1. So basically i want to install the new modules as xcopy to the virtual directory.  I am guessing installation of module would inturn  copy the ascx files / dlls and updating tables in DNN to reflect installation. I was thinking if we copy them manually and update the DB with the scripts manually it would suffice. 

Is this possible at all , is there any documentation around this some where ? what would you think is the best way to tackle the scenario.

Thanks for all the support.

Regards,

Raja
