Dont know if this is related to the same issue i had. I had exactly the same errors and i tried everything to make it work but it didnt. I tried the following:
1. Resintalled MySQL drivers (for .NET)
2. Tested if mysql was installed properly by running a small php script below: <?php $link = mysql_connect('<server>','<username>','<password>'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connection OK'; mysql_close($link); ?>
The above confirmed that the connection was ok! But i was still having a problem proceeding from step 2!!!
3. I spent hours trying to figure out what was going on, ran trace etc, but still did not work.
4. I decided to look ino the umbraco install diectory web.config and ongoing through, i hapened to notice by stroke of luck an element umbracoConfigurationStatus with value of "". For some reason, i decided to set this to "4.5.2" (umbraco version) and presto!!!! It worked.
The above might be a fluke or just a specific solutions, but it happened to work for me. I hope this helps others in any way as the issue the @OP was having was very similar to mine.
Database not found / Upgrading from 3.0.6 to 4.5.2 (.NET 3.5)
Hello,
I'm getting a database not found error on step 2 of 5 when upgrading from ver 3.0.6 to 4.5.2.
Is there a solution for this ?
Thanks,
Thorsten

I believe you have to upgrade to version 4.0 before you can go to 4.5.2
+1 on Aaron's comments, you need to upgrade to v4.0 before ever thinking of upgrading to 4.5.2 (and maybe some versions in between)!
Hi Guys,
thanks your your tips...I will try first to upgrade to 4.0.4.2 and after that I start the upgrade to 4.5.2
I tell you if it worked for me.
