    Wanted to upgrade to 9.4.1. from 9.1.1. The process was OK, all items were GREEN, except for the one with Telerik 09.02.01_install.zip (FAILED - RED).

    For some reason, I saw the Telereik 9.2.1 (? wtf ?)  version reference as faulting. So I went back, and did a DNN upgrade to 9.2.1 from 9.1.1. This went through OK. Then I did an upgrade from 9.2.1 directly to 9.4.1. -- everything went through OK, and the website worked OK. :)

    SUGGESTION: the 9.4.1. upgrade has a reference to Telerik 9.2.1, which should probably be removed or even just renamed to 9.4.1.

    (I do have another UNRESOLVED issue, after upgrading from 9.1.1. It is because of a custom SKIN that I use. This is HammerFlex from Chris Hammond. The only issue I see, is that the HOST/ADMIN functionality is broken - I see a gray stripe on the left, but no HOST/ADMIN icons or links. I resolved this, by putting Xcillin SKIN files in the HammerFlex folder, and then overriding it with all the files from the original HammerFlex SKIN folder. Then, the HOST/ADMIN overlay worked, so I could choose another SKIN, which would eliminate the problem. SUGGESTION: there should be the possibility of reaching the HOST/ADMIN section through a normal query string or special URL, which would eliminate this and all other possible future SKIN problems, quirks & errors).

    So, as far as I am concerned, everything is resolved here.
    Keep up the good work guys, DNN rulez! 8-)

      FYI, Chris has an update to Hammerflex that (I hope) is also compatible with 9.4.1.

      There is also a Hammerflex2 that uses Bootstrap 4.

        Hammerflex - the 2019 updated version works properly with 9.4.1. Very nice!
        I noticed, that the Messaging section now works also. Before it was "Loading messages...".  This is good, cause I did not have time today, to do extensive debugging. Win-win. :)

        THANK YOU!
