Pretty common with any .exe you download. Right click on the .exe and go to properties and click unblock the file. Then run the file again a and install the necessary files.

Thanks Brenden for your reply. But I didn't find any unblock button in properties.

This is the checkbox.

You can also check the .dll's in the project and look for that same blocked file issue.

If neither of these resolve it, then I'd suggest clearing all the files out and starting over. There is a cached version of the installer in C:\ProgramData\KIM and look for the Upg8_2_9_0 folder.

Hi Brenden

I didn't get the unblock option when right click on the Kentico_9-0 and also didn't find the path C:\ProgramData\KIM.

Could you mention the steps more specific.

Thanks

We use KIM to run upgrade from Kentico 9.0 to Kentico 10.0 and ran into the same errors somen ghosh had. We did not see block/unblock option either in the executable file. Kentico support suggested us to check if there is any OS policy that is stopping the executable to be run and there is not.

Does anyone encounter the same issue using KIM and know how to resolve this issue?

Have you tried using just the upgrade exe? http://download.kentico.com/CMSUpgrades/Upgrade/Upgrade_9_0_10_0.exe

One other thing I've had is the download was corrupt and doesn't seem to want to clear itself out. In the KIM tool, you can clear the cache in the Settings. If you can't get it to clear out and allow you to download the files again then go into the C:\ProgramData\KIM\Upg9_0_10_0 directory and remove the .exe file and try to download it again.
