I followed the instructions as mentioned in the upgrade manual. After upgradation, I got the following screen:

After system logon, I got the following error:

As per the Document,

Kentico 8 setup files The upgrade converts your web projects to Kentico version 8.0, but does not provide the associated setup files. To obtain the installer and setup files for Kentico 8: Download the Kentico 8 installer Run Kentico_8_0.exe. Read and accept the License Terms and Conditions and click Custom installation. Select Install only program files and click Install.

Question is that do I need to merge the files? My Kentico directory structure is as follows:

Hello Christopher,

is this still issue or have you been able to fix already?

Did you try to apply the latest hotfix for Kentico 8 too?

Best regards, Martin
