I am trying to upgrade a 6.2.8 to 7.3.2.

Originally, the installation was on an old Windows Server 2003, and the 6.2.8 was running fine.

We have moved to a new Windows Server 2012 to support ASP.NET 4.

After migrating, the 6.2.8 runs just fine.

I installed the 7.3.2 upgrade.  I fill in the host name and password.  Clicking the "Upgrade Now" link produces 2 javascript errors:

POST http://192.168.100.53/learnport/Install/UpgradeWizard.aspx/ValidateInput 500 (Internal Server Error)

ScriptResource.axd?d=ufd9BOacYL-_EpQfXY-TsSsaHC6Bl3XhJOkTymobu1fBNMsDn13s5cmcKMdQXXKxZjjOWBljFHdUWW…:6076

 

Uncaught Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'ValidateInput' failed with the following error: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException-- Key not valid for use in specified state.

ScriptResource.axd?d=ufd9BOacYL-_EpQfXY-TsSsaHC6Bl3XhJOkTymobu1fBNMsDn13s5cmcKMdQXXKxZjjOWBljFHdUWW…:237 

 

Your thoughts on this are appreciated ...

No.

I moved the 6.2.8 installation to the new server, installed and with an ASP.NET 4 Integrated Pipeline Mode App Pool.

I verified that the site loaded and ran.

I copied the 7 files and reloaded the page. The UpgradeWizard starts, but hitting the button generated the javascript error.

A clean install of 7.4.1 on the same server runs perfectly fine.

there might be an issue just with the Upgradewizard.aspx page - Did you try browsing /install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade instead?
