But when I try to login to the back office to complete the install this is what happens:
1 - Welcome to the Umbraco installer. You see this screen because your Umbraco installation needs a quick upgrade of its database and files, which will ensure your website is kept as fast, secure and up to date as possible.
Detected current version (83af7945), which needs to be upgraded to 11.1.0 (3f5d492a). To compare versions and read a report of changes between versions, use the View Report button below.

Simply click continue below to be guided through the rest of the upgrade.

2- I click Continue and get one of the following errors:
Error during installation

OR

Can someone please assist - this has me at a complete standstill with our project.
I would guess that you have a shared database setup and that someone has upgrade their local code base to 11.2 but your local version or hosted dev version is still using the 11.1 codebase. As such, when one of the older versions tries to start it sees that the database is in a newer state than the code base and tries to "downgrade". However downgrading is not supported.
You're only options are:
Updated your codebase to 11.2 in all environments.
Restore your database to an older version.
I don't recommend using a shared database and this is one of the reasons why as it can cause a real headache at times.
If the above assumptions are incorrect, can you verify what version of Umbraco is installed on the version of the site you are looking at by looking in the csproj file and sharing the version of the nuget package for the cms.
Yes. It was the database. This dev box has several instances of Umbraco as we are learning how to use it. I created a new DB, and started a fresh install, and no issues. Appreciate your help.
It seems like this issue has reared its head again. This is a fresh DB we've been working with since March. It's forcing the upgrade to 11.2 from 11.1.
Ideally, id like to not upgrade to 11.2 at all and just bypass since we literally just installed 11.1 in March. We are set to go live in a couple of days, but I can't currently do anything because im stuck in the upgrade loop.
Any idea how we can bypass the upgrade completely?
Umbraco forcing the upgrade from 11 to 11.2
I'm being forced to upgrade from 11 to 11.2 on our development site.
I asked a previous question about how to stop the upgrade - https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/111345-how-to-stop-install-of-latest-version-v-11-to-111 - but didn't get an answer.
The only way I can move forward is to upgrade - it started at 11.1, and it's now forcing 11.2.
I installed the upgrade via the see instructions - https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/setup/upgrading/
