As I read your post, you´re trying to go fra 4.9.1 and 4.11.10. in one step. Maybe you could try to it in two steps, so first go from your current version 4.9.1 to 4.10.0 by doing what the gude says.
After you hopefully have been able to upgrade from 4.9.1 to 4.10.0 and checked that everything works as intended, you could take the next step from 4.10.0 to 4.11.10
Just some inputs on how you could try upgrade your Umbraco installation.
What errors do you get? It would be a little easier to point you in the right direction if you could provide a tracelog of a YSOD or describe the error you see.
Also do you have some packages that could perhaps break the solution and be the cause of the error?
The above guide is usefull but some steps can be avoided so you can go from a to b without all the middle steps. However I have not done things this way myself before but I know that others have done it succesfully. Think the important part is that you don't forget to remove files, add configs from the different steps even though you go directly from a to b.
I have done the steps for 4.9.1 to 4.10.0 and have merged the web.config old values into the structe of the new web.config. but when running the website it says "Welcome to the Umbraco installation". Is that correct or am I wrong already there?
Welcome to the Umbraco installation
Thanks for downloading the Umbraco CMS installer.
You are just a few minutes away from getting up and running. The installer will take you through the following process:-
1.Accept the easy to read License.
2.Set up a database. There are a number of options available such as MS SQL Server, MS SQL Express Edition and MYSQL or you may wish to use the Microsoft SQL CE 4 database. You may need to consult your web host or system administrator.
3.Set an Umbraco Admin password.
4.You can then choose to install one of our great starter kits and a skin.
5.But whatever you do don't forget to become part of the Umbraco community, one of the friendliest developer communities you will find. It’s what makes Umbraco such a great product and so much fun to use.
It is in fact correct - it's actually an upgrade dialog in this case - You're seeing it because there is an upgrade script that needs to be run. If I remember correctly it also says something about "Upgrade" somewhere in the sequence. But it's been a while since I last did an upgrade on Umbraco below 7 though.
Do you see a "Continue" / "Next" button on the screen as well?
Once it's run you should be able to login to Umbraco as usual. Remember to remove the /install folder afterwards.
Have you read the post I linked above before you're doing it? Can't remember if it should be done while you're on 4.10 or if you should wait untill you're upgraded to 4.11. But the info is in the blogpost somewhere :)
Problems upgrading 4.9.1 to 4.11.10

I was trying to avoid the 4.10.0 because of a known bug there but ok I listen to what you say

In regards to the bug in 4.10.0-4.11.4 there is a patch fixup package, which you can run in order to fix the bug - You can read more about it here http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2013/2/1/umbraco-4114-released.aspx
Hope this helps.

It runs on 4.10.0 now without any problems. Now off to the "Path Fixup" bugg
Hi Johan
Have you read the post I linked above before you're doing it? Can't remember if it should be done while you're on 4.10 or if you should wait untill you're upgraded to 4.11. But the info is in the blogpost somewhere :)
