Kentico Hotfix Utility and Kentico Upgrade Utility are two identical external utilities that can be used to hotfix or upgrade Kentico CMS instances. They are included in Kentico CMS hotfix and upgrade packages as the Hotfix.exe and Upgrade.exe executables. The utilities can be launched two ways:

 

1. By clicking the Apply button in the Upgrade/Hotfix and Check dialogs of Kentico Installation Manager.

 

 

2. By executing the file unpacked from the package. It must be placed in a folder together with the folder containing the actual hotfix or upgrade files.

 

 

Please refer to the Using the wizard topic for a step-by-step guide through individual steps of the utility's wizard.
