Unable to install Community on existing site

Vote:
 

I have an EPiServer site that is currently in version 7.14. This site was originally created using EPiServer Deployment Center with version 7.5.394.2, and has since been updated several times through NuGet packages. The site is visible in the Quick Links sectioin when I start Deployment Center. When I select "All Actions -> EPiServer Community -> Version 7.5.394.2 -> Install Community on existing site", there are not sites listed in the "Install Community on Existing Site" window, but when I check the "Show All Sites" box, I am able to select my site. The installation then fails with the following eror message ("Error - This version of EPiServer Community can only be installed on a CMS 7.5 site"):

EPiServer Deployment Center Error Message

How can I get community installed on my site?

<p>It looks like the installer is looking for 7.5 assemblies, so it doesn't seem it's possible to use the installer to install Community on an EPi site that has been updated via NuGet. You would probably have to create a separate COmmunity site and port over the Community files and config changes to your 7.14 site manually.</p>

<p>Could it be installed as an Add On? Since they are promoting the platform via add on store?&nbsp;<a href="http://www.episerver.com/add-on-store/EPiServer-Relate/">http://www.episerver.com/add-on-store/EPiServer-Relate/</a>&nbsp;<a href="/add-ons/">http://world.episerver.com/add-ons/</a></p>

<p>As far as installing Relate via Add-on store or the new way of via Visual Studio, there's no support for that at the moment.</p> <p>Here's list of verified add-ons -&nbsp;http://world.episerver.com/add-ons/installation-support-for-verified-add-ons/</p>

<p>I am afraid,&nbsp;In my career there is no clean installation i can see for community.&nbsp;</p> <p>This may work,<br />If you setup a 7.5 project and install relate with this then do an upgrade to your current version. and manually move&nbsp;dlls and settings in your existing project.</p> <p>Regards<br />/K</p>

<p>Finally got this working. The trick is really simple: just use an old version (the one I used had verison 7.5.394.2) of the EPiServer.dll&nbsp; during the installation.</p> <p>When the Deployment Center installation is complete, switch back to the newer EPiServer.dll, and then run install the latest Community package via NuGet.</p>
