Hello,

Ik have a 5.5.1 installation, now I want to upgrade using update.bat without losing my db data. The command line assume's my latest version is 5.1.1 and constantly wants to upgrade from previous versions.

What's the correct/most simple way to upgrade the database from 5.5.1 to 6.0?

tnx in advance!

If you use version 5.5.1, please enter this version number in MySQL table "__version". This should make sure that the upgrade process recognizes the correct version.

I'm also upgrading from 5.5.1 and I think I'm having a similar problem where upgrade.bat is not detecting my current version correctly.

Can I get a little more help on entering the version number in the MySQL table "__version" ....

I opened the MYSQL Query Browser and edited the __version table I tried to change the default value as 5.5.1 but the update gave a query error.

So I changed the value to '5.5.1' which worked but the update still doesn't identify my version correctly.

Thank You
