I just upgraded a 7.5.0 install to 7.5.4. The upgrade process worked fine - but when I click the profile icon (or the Help icon) in the back office it says:
Umbraco version 7.5.0 assembly: 1.0.6073.15895
Is this normal behavior? The packages folder of the solution shows 7.5.4
Also, when upgrading by NuGet - is it best to not overwrite the config files? Or is the best practice to overwrite them and then go back in and restore changes to them. An example would be the 404 ID of the umbracosettings.config file.
Further digging shows the 7.5.4 folder in the packages folder of the solution - but if I look at the properties the core DLL, it says its 7.5.0. Very odd. If I try to run the update via Nuget again it tells me 7.5.4 is already installed.
So far I'm stumped. I've tried to update it to 7.5.4 numerous times using Nuget. Every time it says everything is fine but never actually updates Umbraco.
Well, I spent a lot of time trying to get the upgrade to install through Nuget but it just didn't work. So here's what I did to get me into 7.5.4:
Created a new empty project in Visual Studio
Installed Umbraco 7.5.4 via Nuget
Copied all updated files from the 7.5.0 site (models, views, media assets, etc.)
Used WinMerge to be sure the umbracoSettings.config and web.config files reflected changes that were made in the 7.5.0 site
Backed up the original database
Updated web.config to point to the database server
Ran a build and followed the prompts to allow the database upgrade
The site is now running 7.5.4.
I'm not sure why I had this issue - and I'm sure it's not the norm for other users. Hopefully this will get me back on track and I will be able to update to 7.5.5 by Nuget without an issue when it's available.
Having a massive sadness upgrading at the moment from 7.0.1 -> 7.4.1 because some doc types can't be resolved in to compositions so the upgrade fails part way through.. any advice?
I had the same problem in 2023 updating Version 8.17.1 to version 8.18.7 - I simply had to remove the umbraco.core reference in visual studio, and re-added the latest version in the packages folder for the VS solution (which was downloaded with nuget).

Hi JDC,
Can you check 'umbracoConfigurationStatus' param in AppSettings?
It should be '7.5.4'
And - yes, it's better to allow to overwrite configs, after that it's better to merge changes with WinMerge if you need.
Thanks,
Alex
It is stating 7.5.0, even though the update through Nuget ran without an issue.
Yes, it runs, but if you upgraded it already to 7.5.4 - it should be 7.5.4
You can fix if manually.
Further digging shows the 7.5.4 folder in the packages folder of the solution - but if I look at the properties the core DLL, it says its 7.5.0. Very odd. If I try to run the update via Nuget again it tells me 7.5.4 is already installed.
As I know nugen check only packages.config file. So it can be 7.5.4 in packages.config and wrong dll in bin folder.
I'll have to look around and see what I can figure out.
And please share what did you find.
Thanks,
Alex

THis is really strange, what about packages.config?
What does it say?
It says 7.5.4. Very odd.
Thinking about it - maybe later when I have some time I will take a copy of the 7.5.0 site and try an upgrade to 7.5.2 to see what happens.
Please, share results when you done.
Tried it with 7.5.0 > 7.5.2. Still having the same problem.

Nothing comes to mind immediately - but you may want to create a new post for this topic to get better responses.
