Anyone else with problems upgrading on IIS?

[Nitallica]

I've searched through the various threads here detailing the "Fatal error" error, but I'm not sure if it's a CPG bug; so I wanted to check to see if anyone else here had experienced anything similar?

My specs:
    * OS: Windows 2000 Advanced Server
    * Web Server Software: IIS 5.0
    * GD/GD2/ImageMagick: ImageMagick
    * PHP ver: 4.3.10 (but will upgrade tomorrow to 4.4.1 (I bookmarked the php4.4.1 error threads just in case ))
    * BB Integration: none
    * Themes: default ones that came with 1.3.4
    * Major Errors: Hangs on upgrade.php execution.  I looked in phpMyAdmin and database appeared untouched.  All tables had cpg134_ prefix and I didn't see any new fields.  However, the webserver hung up after executing upgrade.php in browser and had to be rebooted before I could access the database or anything at all on the server.
    * Client OS and Browser: XP SP2, Firefox 1.0.7
    * Fresh install or upgrade: Upgrade from 1.3.4


Other notes:

This is an install for one of my clients.  I backed up everything prior to upgrade.  After upgrade failed, I wiped everything out and installed a clean copy of 1.4.1 (much to my client's chagrin) and it appeared to be fine.

I know the beta is unsupported, and I stressed that to my client.  They may be willing to hold out for a stable release, so I'm pushing hard.

However, I'm wondering if this could be an IIS problem?  The client was happy with 1.3.4, but wanted multiple categories -- hence the suggestion to go to 1.4x.

Is anyone running 1.4x in a Windows/IIS environment?  And if so, did you experience this problem?

Thanks!

did you use the most recent cvs checkout?

did you use the most recent cvs checkout?

Not at the time of post.  I was using the 1.4.1_beta listed in your downloads section.

However, I did run across the handy dandy tortoisecvs article last night so I downloaded and installed 1.4.2 this morning.  (great tut btw, bookmarked! )

Also, I was looking at the update.php file last night and noticed that it looks to see if the plugins directory exists (and if not to create it).  Being that I was on 1.3.4 it did not exist, and I'm wondering if it freaked because maybe Windows/IIS handles the directory creation differently as far as permissions and such (I'm no expert, so I'm guessing ), so I created that directory this morning prior to install.

1.4.2 is up and appears to be running fine. (client is happy, yay!!  hehe   )

Thanks!
