did you unblock the downloaded upgrade package prior to unzipping the files contained?

Yes, unblocked the zip. I even downloaded and unblocked the zip again. Thanks for responding.

I also tried restoring back to 9.3.1 and upgrading to 9.3.2 (which worked fine), then tried upgrade to 9.4.0 which failed again the same way. I've now restored the 9.3.2 backup just prior to 9.4 upgrade.

Do you think it could have anything to do with .NET version? The error message says at the bottom:

• Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.8.4001.0

It is Windows 10 Pro with the latest updates and the registry says .Net is 4.8:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
"528040" (Windows 10 May 2019 Update)

I don't know why error message says it is 4.0.30319

 

 

Hi Top Cat, I had the same error when I upgraded from 9.32 to 9.4.
I first had to install .net framework 4.7.2.
And then had to update the web.config file to reference 4.7.2 in two different places.
The first was in the tag. change the targetFramework to 4.7.2
The other is in the tag. change the targetFramework to 4.7.2

The other is in the "httpruntime" tag. change the targetFramework to 4.7.2

Thanks Dave. I updated your response in my quote of your message above to show the stripped-out tags in quotes.

I tried your solution by downloading and installing the 4.7.2 Developers Pack (because when I tried to install the Runtime it said it or a later version was already installed). I updated the two lines (which were 4.5) and tried my site without updating. Everything worked okay. I then did the update to 9.4 and got the same error as before.

 

 

I am wondering about the error message (that I have now made fully readable in the OP). It lists the version as being 1.1.0.0:

" [FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=..."

Yet in the Install\bin folder in the update package, that file has this version number: 2.1.1.18157

Could that be what it is complaining about, since it gives this reason for the error...?

"The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"

I found the problem and fixed it.

The web.config had a binding that pointed to version 1.1.0 of the file (angle brackets replaced below with square braces):

[!--Upgraded by 2SexyContent version 10.1.0 - Date: 5/31/2019 8:27:39 AM--]
      [!--[dependentAssembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"][assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection"

      [/dependentAssembly]

This is where that version was coming from, 2SexyContent version 10.1.0. Commenting out that code in the web.config allowed the upgrade install process to work. However, 2SexyContent no longer worked, giving an error about not having version 1.1.0 of that file. Upgrading to 2SexyContent version 10.5 fixed that problem.  Notice how they have changed their web.config in the [runtime] section to specify the URL for where to find the version of the file they want to use...

[!--Upgraded by 2SexyContent version 10.5.0 - Date: 9/13/2019 4:52:25 PM--]

        [bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.32767.32767.32767" newVersion="1.1.0.0" /]
      [/dependentAssembly]

This allows them to have their version and DNN to have the default version. Problem solved.

I've got the same issue.

Upgraded from 9.2.2.178

I have 2Sexy 10.2 installed.

The annoying thing is I'm not really using it yet.

After commenting out all the entries in web.config from 2Sexy, I'm still getting this error:

This is coming from

      <!--Upgraded by 2SexyContent version 10.2.0 - Date: 8/3/2019 9:36:13 AM-->

I even deleted it from the web.config.

I can go back to 9.2.2.178, but the personabar is broken.

 

 

 

as pointed out before, please upgrade 2sxc to latest version!

That's a bit hard...

Unless you have a way to do it without running DNN.

As I said, when I restore back to they old version, the personabar is broken....So the websites run, but I have no admin access.
