Prerequisites:

  If your Sitecore solution is based on earlier version, then you must update to Sitecore CMS 6.2.0 Update rev. 091012 before installing this update.

Follow the steps below to upgrade an existing Sitecore CMS 6.2.0 installation to Sitecore CMS 6.2.0 rev. 100104 (also known as 6.2.0 Update-1):

1. Backup the site.
2. Update the Web.config file. You can find the exact strings to update on the Web.config Changes page.

   See the Update Installation Wizard Guide  for more information about how to use the wizard.
4. Install the Sitecore CMS 6.2.0 rev. 100104 update package using the wizard:
   1. Upload the update package using the wizard.
   2. Analyze the package.
   3. Install the package.
5. Check if any of the Sitecore log files contain warnings that one or more Sitecore performance counters do not exist (hint: search for "Using temporary internal counter") or that one or more Sitecore counters cannot be instantiated because the category is marked as single-instance (hint: search for "single-instance"). To resolve this problem:
   1. Download sitecorecounters.zip.
   2. Unzip the archive.
   3. Run the SitecoreCounters.exe program to re-register the Sitecore performance counters.

8. If your data folder is placed outside the webroot and you upgraded to 6.2 from 6.1:
   • Check that the data folder contains a webdac.lic file.
   • If the file is not present, then move it from <webroot>/data to the real data folder.
9. Reiterate the update procedure for every Sitecore instance in your Sitecore environment.
