Hi Steve,

What's the error you're getting with uComponents?

Thanks,

Apologies for the delay in replying - I was just about to dash out the door!

It looks like a problem with the media picker - Could not load types from assembly uComponents.DataTypes, Version=5.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, errors: Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'umbraco.editorControls.mediapicker.MemberPickerDataType' from assembly 'umbraco.editorControls, Version=1.0.5462.37523, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Hi Steve,

You should be able to delete the uComponents.DataTypes.dll from your /bin folder. (The v4/v6 style data-types can't be used on v7 anyway).

Cheers,

Hi Lee

now I'm getting -

Could not load types from assembly uComponents.Legacy, Version=5.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, errors: Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'uComponents.DataTypes, Version=5.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'uComponents.DataTypes, Version=5.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

so that's a step forward I hope.

I'm not sure what code needs changing now, did a text search for it but nothing flagged up as obvious - to me anyway

Ah ok, delete the uComponents.Legacy.dll too. (It just contains a bunch of old/legacy data-types, which don't work in v7 either).

Hopefully that should be all that need deleting.

Getting there Invalid column name 'propertyEditorAlias'.

Hmmm... is there anything more with the error? Bit difficult to figure it out.

Thanks,

I think I need to run the install but of course you don't get the /install with 7.2.1 so I'm a bit stuck

do I need to run web platform installer or run an older installer 7.1?

To kick off the installer again, try setting the value of the umbracoConfigurationStatus appSetting (in your Web.config file) to empty:

<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />

It did run but I got - The view '/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched: /umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml

Double check that all of the /Umbraco core files have been copied across for the upgrade. The file at "/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml" should definitely be there (for v7).

That folder was missing so I've just copied it over

I get the picture of the people waving but no message and it doesn't look like it's installing - I can't see nuget on the server (that's Visual Studio anyway isn't it?) so do I use Microsoft Web Platform installer at this point?

Hi Steve,

To be honest, I'm not sure why the installer isn't working for you. Part of me thinks that maybe some other files/folders are missing?

You shouldn't need MS Web Platform Installer for doing this part.

Does anyone know if there is a version of (or fix for) uComponents that is compatible with Umbraco7? 

Or, do I need to update my custom data types to use something else besides uComponents?  I hope this isn't the case.  If I do, can anyone recomment a procedure to properly/safely do this? 

Many thanks in advance!!! 

I did mistake of updating ucomponents on Umbraco 7.x version, my umbraco project failed to openup anything, I have just went into the bin folder of umbraco project and deleted all ucomponent*.dll files, and now this have resolved my issue.

is working on a reply...
