KIM Registration Not Working

You should be able to use the KIM for v12 without any issue to run your upgrade.

Have you changed the name of the solution file from the original file name to another file name? Have you modified the folder structure at all where the solution file and the rest of the site are housed? These are 2 common issues we run into.

I haven't changed the project structure or solution name in quite some time - not since the first few commits and we've been working on this project for over 3 years. I just don't understand why it doesn't see the Xperience instance...I've got to be missing something pretty simple.

You could also manually add the record in the C:\ProgramData\KIM\kim.xml file. Your entry would look something like this:

  <item>
    <guid>6eb50de2-df37-4743-b5e2-72e71463522b</guid>
    <url>http://localhost</url>
    <name>K12 Site</name>
    <version>12.0</version>
    <path>C:\Websites\kentico12</path>
    <created>2022-04-07T12:14:49</created>
    <hotfix>29</hotfix>
    <showlist>0</showlist>
    <netversion>0</netversion>
  </item>

You'd need to make sure the hotfix is what your current site is at. Again, keep in mind, the KIM for v12 or v13 will work. It's smart enough to manage that because all of the KIMs use the same file just operate off the version node.

I deleted the project folder and re-pulled it from Github and somehow that worked. I was able to register it just now. Not sure what changed, but it's working now. Thanks for the quick reply!
