No need compiling. just run the upgrade wizard

Sorry, did not read the last part (hidden in mail) :-)

Typically, you don't adjust the core. You add features using extensions, that's how you prevent to get into serious trouble.

Hello Tycho,
The issue is the v9.6.2 I have had some custom changes in code to change some of the functionality of DNN. Since I need those functionality as well I really need to know how can I compile and publish the v9.10.2.
Thanks

This isn't an area that we have a lot of documentation on directly as what you are discussing is not a suggested pattern.

However, you can look at the build processes that are used by DNN which we have documented here: https://github.com/dnnsof...lop/.github/BUILD.md

You can also look at our release build process as done here: https://github.com/dnnsof...m/tree/develop/Build However, this is a very involved packaging process

In case you haven't found it yet, Peter Donker has a Youtube channel devoted to just this topic: StayAtHomeDNNer https://www.youtube.com/c...d2cgCz-6MzCyfoxL6dAQ . It is still relevant and worked for me. Thanks Peter!

As others have said ... modifying and re-compiling DNN is the first step on the road to ruin.

And, considering all of the extension points that are available, your first step might be to step back and re-think your approach.

Seriously, we are trying to save you from a world of hurt!

It would be educational, though, if you could describe some of the customization that has been done. That might elicit suggestions as to alternate approaches to solving the same problems.

I second what Joe and the others are saying - modifying DNN instead of using the extensions will give you a world of pain.

I've spent many hours cleaning up after something similar - but in the end the time was well spent since upgrades were effortless later on.

As suggested - try describing what the customizations are - perhaps the community can help you solve it another way?

Sorry, I'm just jumping in the middle of this forum! I don't know where I can raise my question. I seem to have the same issue with compiling/installing the source code of DNN 9.10.2 which I recently downloaded.
The code compiles well, no errors and I was able to install the DB and the DNN. I also upgraded as well, but as soon as the upgrade is done, the website keeps going to the "Install/UpgradeWizard.aspx" and "The resource cannot be found.".
I don't seem to be able to fix this issue. I tried to change the config file settings, yet the error still persists. I'm using VS 2022, if this helps.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you

Hello!  The video series below is still mostly relevant. Have you gone through this yet?  There's a bit of setup, but after you do that, it's all pretty smooth.  :)
