I just tried to upgrade my 4.0 site to 4.5 ... i was able to fix most of the problems that arised myself but for one problem I couldn't find a solution:
There are no packages showing up under the "Installed packages" tree in the Developer section. I had a dozen of them installed - nothing. I tried to upgrade the backup of my site again in case I made a mistake but same thing happened again.
In the data folder, the installedPackages.xml file is there, and it includes all packages that have been installed in my 4.0 installation.
Why is that? I suspended the upgrade and currently continue to run the 4.0 installation as this could cause major headaches later.
Has there something changed with the package management from 4.0 to 4.5?
Because I noticed that fresh installed packages (after upgrading to 4.5) don't show up in the installedPackages.xml ... while they are visible in the UI.
Today I had the same problem. I found that the location of the installed packages has changed. You can copy the data of "data/packages/installed/installedPackages.config" to "App_Data/packages/installed/installedPackages.config".
I found out by searching the folders because I had the same problem. After installing a new package I just searched all the soure code's on the new package name.
the problem was the changed folder. So maybe you are facing a completely different problem. Have you checked if the content of your xml file makes sense?
Installed packages tree empty after upgrading from 4.0 -> 4.5.2
Hi,
I just tried to upgrade my 4.0 site to 4.5 ... i was able to fix most of the problems that arised myself but for one problem I couldn't find a solution:
There are no packages showing up under the "Installed packages" tree in the Developer section. I had a dozen of them installed - nothing. I tried to upgrade the backup of my site again in case I made a mistake but same thing happened again.
In the data folder, the installedPackages.xml file is there, and it includes all packages that have been installed in my 4.0 installation.
Why is that? I suspended the upgrade and currently continue to run the 4.0 installation as this could cause major headaches later.
Hope someone can help me out of here :)
Thank you!
Anybody? :(

Hi Bernhard,
Today I had the same problem. I found that the location of the installed packages has changed. You can copy the data of "data/packages/installed/installedPackages.config" to "App_Data/packages/installed/installedPackages.config".

Hi Bas,
thank you so much, that's it!
How you found out? Was this change documented anywhere? I searched for hours :(
Finally I can upgrade to 4.5!
Thanks again!

Hi Joe,
the problem was the changed folder. So maybe you are facing a completely different problem. Have you checked if the content of your xml file makes sense?
You have also upgraded from 4.0 to 4.5.2?
