Upgrade LiteDB to V5 didnt work as per PowerShell Universal Docs

Was there an error? I had someone do this upgrade via the instructions in the docs yesterday and it worked for them.

I just want to make sure because I was planning to roll this out in 1.6 to force this upgrade and that makes me worried it won’t work sometimes.

Yes there was an error when launching PSU

Testing as follows:

delete database.db
launch psu to create new database.db
stop apppool
update appsettings.json as per docs instructions
start apppool
launch psu

error above

working scenario for fresh v5 version

stop apppool
delete database.db
update appsettings.json just for litedbv5 (no upgrade=true)
start apppool
launch PSU
new database.db created as V5

Ok. Thanks for all the info. Maybe it something to do with IIS. I’ll take a look.

I have the same issue now after installing/ removing IIS on my server. Are there any news to this topic?
I now have to reinstall my Server in hope to not face this issue again.
