I have 2 major websites we haven't upgraded to 6 yet due to the size and complexity of the sites.
Is there any chance of a manual install zip for the version 4 copy of 3.0.20, or could you give me a list of the files I need to update if I stick the package on a clean copy of Umbraco v4. (I've amended most of the datatype views to fit in bootstrap markup so a lot of the contour UI/scripting isn't vanilla any more so a list of files I need update would make me feel safer than just beyond comparing them).
I am in the same situation, not sure why there is no update file for 3.0.20, there was for 3.0.19. Perhaps the v6 update covers v4 as well it's just not indicated on the current page. If you look at the archive of files it says UmbracoContour3.0.19update.zip is for v700, v610, v600, v411.
I've just upgraded our staging server and it now blows up trying to render anything on the front end with the error "Could not load type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'."
I've seen this before and I think this thread is the same issue.
Is it possible to get a build of 3.0.20 against .NET Framework v4 please?
Yes, our old Umbraco version 4 installs are on boxes with only version 4 of the framework installed.
My dev machine has 4.5 framework and the 3.0.20 contour package runs perfectly on there.
Talking to the systems team now about putting 4.5 on our old builds but it doesn't feel like the right thing to do when we have had a stable system in place for so long.
Yes I have many custom fieldtypes and workflows on the site I upgraded and I believe ContourContrib is installed but no longer used on the site. I'm still not sure where the problem lies as the site was working before the upgrade and the stack traces I'm getting are very generic.
I'm going to roll back the upgrade and have a play on a less important server in the office somewhere as the customer uses the staging box to trial new forms. Will post back if I make any progress.
Version 4 upgrade files
Hi Tim,
I have 2 major websites we haven't upgraded to 6 yet due to the size and complexity of the sites.
Is there any chance of a manual install zip for the version 4 copy of 3.0.20, or could you give me a list of the files I need to update if I stick the package on a clean copy of Umbraco v4. (I've amended most of the datatype views to fit in bootstrap markup so a lot of the contour UI/scripting isn't vanilla any more so a list of files I need update would make me feel safer than just beyond comparing them).
Many thanks Simon
Hi Simon
There is documentation on manual installation here http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Installation/Manual
Hope this helps.

Hi Jan,
It's the files themselves I need as currently there is only the packaged zip file available.
I'll install to a fresh copy of Umbraco and just use comparison software to work out the changes from there.
It's the price I pay for being retro :D
Cheers Simon

So you think it's because you're not running .Net 4.5?
Yes, our old Umbraco version 4 installs are on boxes with only version 4 of the framework installed.
My dev machine has 4.5 framework and the 3.0.20 contour package runs perfectly on there.

Insstalled 4.5 on our staging environment and Umbraco is happy again but when I click through to the Contour section in the back end I get this;
I don't know if I've missed something in the upgrade or if there's an issue in the code but I'm a but stuck as to what to do next.
Maybe a long shot but are you using any custom field types or using Umbraco ContourContrib?
See http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/46409-Error-after-3017-upgrade?p=0 which led me to ask the question
