Thus:
1. overwrite all files in the existing installation with the ones in the zip, exept for AppPlugins\UmbracoForms\UmbracoForms.config
2. merge UmbracoForms.config with the one in the zip
3. create an empty file formsupdate in ~/AppData/TEMP/
The instructions furthermore tells us that with completion the formsupdate file will be removed.
This latter commentary does not align with our experiences however. After restarting the application the formsupdate file is not removed, but its content is changed to '4.4.2', the version of the UF version to be installed. Restarting the application does not remove the file. When I remove the file manually and restart the application, it is now automatically re-created including '4.4.2' as its content. It thus seems impossible to remove the 'formsupdate' file, since it is re-created every restart.
Here some of the log entries regarding the UF installation:
These latter log entries appear every restart, presumably because of the unceasing existance of the 'formsupdate' file. Furthermore no error entries in the log regarding Umbraco Forms.
Since the instructions tell us that the 'formsupdate' file should be deleted after completion, the reappearance of the file suggests that the update is not finalized.
Anyone with an illuminating insight why it seems that the update of UF is not finalizing? And how to resolve this? Any help is welcome.
Did some additional research, and it seems that from Umbraco Forms versions 4.3.0 the 'formsupdate' file is not deleted after the upgrade, but rather retained and its content updated to the actual UF version.
I tried this (manual) UF upgrade path: 4.1.5 -> 4.2.1 -> 4.2.2 -> 4.3.0 -> 4.3.1 -> 4.4.2 on several Umbraco installations:
Our actual site with Umbraco 7.2.8 installed
A clean Umbraco 7.2.8
A clean Umbraco 7.3.5
A clean Umbraco 7.4.3
A clean Umbraco 7.5.9
, all with the same outcome: from UF 4.3.0 on the 'formsupdate' file retains in the ~\App_Data\TEMP directory.
Is this some sort of a bug, or is it the documentation for the manual upgrade not accurate?
All right, I contacted support and got the answer that both the AutoInstaller entries in the log, and the retaining 'formsupdate' file in '~/AppData/TEMP/' do not cause any troubles.
Umbraco Forms update does not finalize? (4.1.4 to 4.4.2)
Hi there,
Just updated our Umbraco Forms from 4.1.4 to 4.4.2 (running on Umbraco 7.2.8), and followed these instructions found at: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Installation/ManualUpgrade
Thus: 1. overwrite all files in the existing installation with the ones in the zip, exept for AppPlugins\UmbracoForms\UmbracoForms.config 2. merge UmbracoForms.config with the one in the zip 3. create an empty file formsupdate in ~/AppData/TEMP/
The instructions furthermore tells us that with completion the formsupdate file will be removed.

It thus seems impossible to remove the 'formsupdate' file, since it is re-created every restart.
Here some of the log entries regarding the UF installation:
And after the restart:
These latter log entries appear every restart, presumably because of the unceasing existance of the 'formsupdate' file. Furthermore no error entries in the log regarding Umbraco Forms.
Since the instructions tell us that the 'formsupdate' file should be deleted after completion, the reappearance of the file suggests that the update is not finalized.

Thank you Umbraco support!
