Big problem upgrading to SP2
Maybe there is some hint as to what goes wrong in upgrade.log? (C:\Program Files\EPiServer\Manager\Download)

Hello Håkan,
Here is an excerpt from upgrade.log. I have sent it to support also but haven't received an answer that solved the problem yet.

An exception occurred during the Rollback phase of the installation. This exception will be ignored and the rollback will continue. However, the machine might not fully revert to its initial state after the rollback is complete.
Previous to where this message appear, the installation of a couple of other ddl's seems to have worked just fine so the problem does always happen to episerver.dll.
Any help is appreciated :-)
Best regards

.NET 3.0 is installed on the servers. We had no problem installing SP1 when that came and I guess .NET 3.0 was a prerequisite then to?
We've managed to work around this issue but it would be nice to know what the problem might be.

How did you work around it, Martin? It might help us figuring out the cause of this issue.

What I did was that I changed on my development machine so that it pointed to the other databases (stage and production), this way the database was upgraded to the correct version. Then I just did a deployment of the files from development to the stage- and production servers. So I guess that there hasn't been any real upgrade of the servers but only of the sites so to say.

Hello,
We've just tried upgrading a CMS5 site from SP1 to SP2 but unfortunately we have big problems when doing this. I just wanted to see if anyone here has had the same problem or if we're the only ones. When running the upgrade package (offline) on our servers we get a message in the manager saying the following after a while:
"Cannot install files: The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed. (Unable to get installer types in the C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\EPiServer\5.1.422.256_8fe83dea738b45b7\EPiServer.dll assembly.)"
We did the same upgrade on our development machines earlier and that worked just fine, but not on our servers for some reason. Has anyone here had the same problem? If so, have you managed to get around it?
Best regards
Martin
