Hi all,

I have a very long-living DNN installation (started with 4.9.5), and due to regular updates is now on 9.7.2. I installed the Telerik Identifier Module to prepare for the next step - and found this assembly:

  • DotNetNuke.Modules.Messaging.dll

As far as I can see, this belongs to the old Messaging module, which is not in use anymore (it was displaced by a module called "Message Center", but obviously not uninstalled). I cannot uninstall this leftover from the UI, as it is marked as a System Module. It does not appear on sites that started with other DNN versions (from 8.0.4, or another one that started with 5.4.4).

My question now is: Is it safe to run the following query and then uninstall the module?

<code>UPDATE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Packages<br /> SET IsSystemPackage = 0<br /> WHERE Name = 'Admin.Messaging'</code>

(Well, to be true, I am sure that this will work and is safe, but I just want to hear some opinions)

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Hi Michael,

I ran into the same issue. I changed the Package in the database to set IsSystemPackage to 0 so I could uninstall it.

However, this didn't remove the assembly (.dll), so I removed that manually anyway.

Hope this helps...

Stefan,

yes, this was working (I also had to remove the assembly manually). Same here: https://dnncommunity.org/forums/aft/1480 (without the system flag, but the assembly had to be removed manually).

Thank you!

Happy DNNing!
Michael

I'm upgrading an instance from 7.4.2 to 9.12.0 for a customer.
After upgraded to the 9.12.0, I've uninstalled the Messaging module and the process has removed the dll automatically.
Previously, I also had to modify the system package flag in the database to unlock the uninstall command.
