This section contains the Sitecore Update Installation Wizard which is used to install Sitecore update packages. Currently updates between Level 4 releases are supported.
The Update Installation Wizard allows developers to update existing Sitecore CMS solutions using Sitecore update packages. The wizard can not only add new items and files but also delete or change them.
Update Installation Wizard provides the following functionality:
- Package compatibility analysis which helps you to identify potential problems during a real update installation and resolve them in advance.
- Informative result grid which supports searching, grouping, etc.
- An option to save the list of potential problems in an XML file.
- Installation of the update package.
Since the wizard is a standard ASP.NET web application, you can install update packages remotely without direct access to the Sitecore server.
Before installing an update into your solution, make sure you read the upgrade instructions on SDN for that specific update. You typically need to perform a small amount of manual tasks, such as merging configuration file changes, in order to successfully upgrade your Sitecore solution from one CMS version to another.
