I've got a site installed with Umbraco 4.0.2.1 which I'm trying to upgrade to 4.0.3.
All looked fine until I noticed that the BlogforUmbraco4 v1 package tags had stopped working. Thats fine cos I haven't upgraded that package, so I thought I'd do an upgrade of the package.
BUT....when I go to Developer > Packages the Installed Packages option has disappeared. All the contents of the packages that were installed originally including ImageGen and ZipUpload are all there and still working, I just can't see the Packages listed in Developer > Packages > Installed Packages.
Check if folder data\packages which is in your umbraco root contains folders created and installed. If they are there just recheck permissions. Those folders contain xml files which the tree reads to tell you what you have installed etc.
OK definately a problem here, permissions are all OK but comparing \data\packages\installed\installedPackages.config between the old version and new shows a dramatic difference.
On the original version I've got 70KB while on the upgraded version I've got 1KB containing
So next question is, do we have upgrade instructions. Obviously my approach didn't work, which was to copy everything from the 4.0.3 zip over the top of my old installation except web.config. When the site is started it prompts for an upgrade.
I can see install instructions on the wiki, but not upgrade instructions. Or am I being stupid.
Installed Packages tree missing after upgrade from 4.0.2.1 to 4.0.3

Any ideas?
Paul,

That's not good.
Did you overwite the data-folder when upgrading? If so, restoring the file would do no harm.
Peter - you're right I did exactly that.

On Codeplex, on the downloads-page, there's a link to an upgrade-guide: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/33743
Basically it says this: For a minor-upgrade (like you are doing), it is sufficient to copy the bin, umbraco and umbraco_client-folders
After that, change the version-number in the web.config. (No need to run the installer since there where no database changes)
HTH,
Peter
