IDE Upgrade Procedure DNN 4.9.4 --> 5.1.2

What would be the suggested procedure to get XModIDE to the current version when upgrading a website from DNN 4.9.4 to DNN 5.1.2?

I went through this today and found that after upgrading DNN to 5.1.2 and then XMod to 5.5 and then XModIDE to 2.06 (DNN5 version), I ended up with two versions of XModIDE on the site. I deleted the DNN4 version, deleted the website page that contained the IDE since it was still visible in the Admin menu and then initialized the new DNN5 version of IDE. The fact that XModIDE was still listed on the Admin menu had me a little confused since the module had already been deleted with delete files option checked.

All seems to be working, but was just curious if those are the recommended steps to upgrade everything.

Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,

The uninstallation of XModIDE does not fully uninstall XModIDE in DNN4 due to limitation in the installer (unability to delete page). When uninstalling the IDE, you will have to manually delete the launch page from under the Admin Tab.

As for upgrade, what is changing between the DNN4 and DNN5 version of XModIDE is only the main dll (Adequation.DNNModules.XModIDE). After upgrading to DNN5, you should be able to overwrite this dll under /bin with the one from the DNN5 package.

The other approach is what you have done. Uninstall the DNN4 version, delete the launch page under admin, install the DNN5 version.

Let us know how it goes from there.
