    Re-running the install for upgrade 7.1.x to 7.2

    Installing umbraco

    Might be that I'm being stupid - recently migrated to Umbraco and it's the first time we've done an upgrade.

     

    1. Branched the site in Team Foundation Server
    2. Backed up and restored a copy of DB for 7.2 Upgrade.
    3. Copied files over into branch - merged where necessary
    4. Updated connection string to use the copy of DB.
    5. Ran site in Visual Studio - Upgrade installer ran, gained the new features inside Umbraco on branch.
    So all looked good - so time to merge back into main database.
    1. Updated connection string to main database
    2. Merged files in TFS
    3. No installer pops up. So I don't have any of the SQL changes.
    I'm going to assume there's a file inside the Umbraco or Umbraco client folders that determines whether to run the installer, but I'm not sure where this file is. Any advice?
    Cheers

    Hi Kieran,

    I believe it's the app setting "umbracoConfigurationStatus" which determines if an upgrade is to take place. The version number in that app setting is compared against one of the Umbraco assemblies. If different, the usual upgrade process is followed. If you want to force an upgrade, you could try changing the app setting back to a previous version to trigger an upgrade.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks, Dan.

    Looks like that's the one, just changed the version number back to 7.1.6 and popped up as it should.

    Cheers
