Yes, it is possible. You can download the hotfix package here: http://devnet.kentico.com/Bugtracker/Hotfixes.aspx. It is a self-extracting package. You can extract it and open the instructions. Please follow the chapter: “Creating File Structure for Deployment” to create the necessary files for your project. Backup your project folder and database, make your site offline and copy the new files into your project folder. Then apply the SQL script from the <hotfix folder>/SQL on your database and make your site online. In this way you can see which files the hotfix re-writes and you can see the exact error messages.

Hi Helena,

Our UAT and PROD servers do not connect to internet, so that we cannot use Kentico Installation Manager to apply Hotfix 7.0.103. Can you provide us the details of the steps to apply hotfix manually?

Thank You!

Best Regards,

Mandy

Hello Chun,

You will need to download the right hotfix package -> 7.0.103 from the DevNet portal. Then you can find step-by-step instructions in the PDF file which is part of the package.

Best regards, Martin
