What to do if installed Newsletter Studio before installing the SQL update?
I installed the trial version of the newsletter studio on our umbraco (v 4.7.2).
Initially, I didn't install the "SQL kit"... but then read that it needs to be installed... but now I can't uninstall the Newsletter Studio Package.... I press to uninstall and nothing happens...
As i try it locally, I dropped the local site database and then imported a backup copy of it...
Then I installed the "SQL kit" (added the "mysql.data.dll" to the same folder in that the "NewsLetterStudio.dll" is located...)
Then I added the <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.5.4.0" newVersion="6.5.4.0" /> to the web.config...
After that I (re)installed the NewsLetterStudio package but when navigating to "/umbraco.aspx#newsletterstudio" page I have

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319;

I found and deleted in my sql databse all tables starting with "ns".
(Finally dropped the database and reimported from the production a fresh version of it)
Then I deleted all files in the /umbraco/newsletterstudio-folder and delete the newsteter's config-file in /config/ directory...
After that I get to the developer tools in the umbraco backoffice and installed the local package of the newsletter (newsletter-studio-1451.zip).
The page was reloaded after the install and I had at the address umbraco/umbraco.aspx#newsletterstudio the following content:

PS.
I would like to add that unistalling the newsletter studio via the developper umbraco tabdoes not drop the "ns" tables from the database. I tried with a new version of the database, after reinstalling or removing by hand, does not, anyway, so I need always to drop tables manually... Nor it deletes the/config/newsletterStudio.config file, so I need to delete it by hand...
PPS.
I tried on another machine in same package versions this time doing things in the right order.... The same result!
Thats right - we don't drop the tables as we're seen people uninstall during updates without thinking about that the database are dropped. Umbraco don't have any option to show dialogs etc. so "better safe than sorry" was our way to go with thing issue.
When you say "the same result" do you mean that you've followed all the steps and getting the error that you posted last time? This:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
NewsletterStudio.Infrastucture.Data.PetaPoco.Database.OpenSharedConnection() +19
Yes. I obtained the same error OpenShareConnection after installing the SQL patch and then the package "Newsletter Studio Version: 1.4.5.1" (My umbraco version is 4.7.2):

I have 6(six) "ns_" tables in the DB, also the IHM with a new "tab" "Nesletter studio", but when I try to access any content of the newsletter "tab"'s treeView I have this OpenSharedConnection error...

Hi!
Are you running MySQL?
Do you have any tables in the db starting with "ns"? Ie. nsNewsletters, ns_TrackingItems?
If you have them, delete all these tables, delete all files in the /umbraco/newsletterstudio-folder and delete the config-file in /config/.
After this you should be able to run the installer again.
Thanks.
