We are going through the process of upgrading to 9.3.1.

All our sites have modified Persona Bar and Edit Bar CSS files.

These are being overridden in the upgrade from the following zips in the Install/Module folder:

Dnn.EditBar.UI_02.00.00_Install

Dnn.PersonaBar.UI_02.00.00_Install

We have attempted to take the install files, unzip them, make our custom changes and then zip the package back up again however when we run the upgrade it seems to detect that the files have been modified and errors on the install of the Edit Bar zip package:

[PathNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified.]

   SchwabenCode.QuickIO.Internal.InternalQuickIOCommon.NativeExceptionMapping(String path, Int32 errorCode) +272
   SchwabenCode.QuickIO.QuickIOFile.OpenFileStream(QuickIOPathInfo pathInfo, FileAccess fileAccess, FileMode fileOption, FileShare shareMode, Int32 buffer) +92
   SchwabenCode.QuickIO.QuickIOFile.OpenText(QuickIOPathInfo pathInfo) +34
   DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.FileSystemUtils.ReadFile(String filePath) +104
   DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Installers.PackageInstaller.ReadTextFromFile(String source) +72
   DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Installers.PackageInstaller.ReadManifest(XPathNavigator manifestNav) +3732
   DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Installers.PackageInstaller..ctor(String packageManifest, InstallerInfo info) +303
   DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Installer.ProcessPackages(XPathNavigator rootNav) +397
   DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Installer.ReadManifest(Boolean deleteTemp) +119
   DotNetNuke.Services.Upgrade.Upgrade.InstallPackage(String file, String packageType, Boolean writeFeedback) +564
   DotNetNuke.Services.Install.Install.UpgradeApplication() +1222
   DotNetNuke.Services.Install.Install. (EventArgs e) +509
   System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +68
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +3785

Has anyone any ideas how we could overcome this?

Thanks,

Scott

I guess you named your files differently? Or did you remove files?
In that case you also need to bring the manifest of the installer package in sync.

Technically, the persona bar isn't currently an extension point (at least not in the same way the previous control panel was). It should be, and I believe that the current development efforts are getting us there with 9.4 or 10 when they're released. In the meantime, I'd suggest replacing your forked code with the original before upgrade, then reapply your changes after the upgrade.
