DNN Upgrade from 9.0.1 to 9.2.0 Started By washboardalex We are upgrading our DNN installation to 9.4.4 to take advantage of the latest memory leak fix. However, we are having trouble and despite trying several upgrade paths I am making no progress. I originally followed the suggested upgrade path and went to 9.1.1 but had problems with Newtonsoft.Json.dll. I saw in a forum post somewhere that going straight to 9.2 might be easier because Newtonsoft.Json is upgraded to version 10.0.3 in that version of dnn. I still had the Newtonsoft.Json error...	3	2521	2	2/22/2020 6:13 PM by washboardalex

Upgrading DNN Started By Deleted User I have never installed/updated DNN. I have never set up a website. I enherited our companies site. I see the 'Critical Update' red bar above the DNN Icon.
