Hey,

When creating a new project through the project manager on version 5 and adding a Small Business Edition license to it, the project ends up broken. 

Suspicion:
There seems to be an installation/activation issue with the 'Library provider' resulting in no access to images, videos and documents. Likely caused by the last minute changes to the FileProvider. 

Symptoms:
Under content images, documents and video aren't available. In the widget section the Video widget and Document link are unavailable. Under Administration>Settings>Storage provider one can't choose for filestorage.

Cure:
Not yet. I've filed a priority ticket and have been in phone contact with Telerik, at the moment it's being tested. 

Confirmation:
I've confirmed this error with 3 different project managers and 3 different SBE licenses. The Professional and Enterprise edition seem to be not affected. I have not tested it with a standard license (ecommerce is an add-on not sure how the FileProvider affects that). 

Cause for panic:
Nope, but since there's no solution yet - you might (or may not) lose project progress or spend some hours tweaking once a bug fix is presented. So this is merely a cautionary post, feel free to go ahead.


Jochem. 

Jochem was kind enough to give me a heads up on this.  The support team wasn't able to investigate or confirm this today, however they'll attempt to reproduce tomorrow.  We'll then recommend fixes or hotfixes.  More tomorrow...

There are other problems as well. Upgrade and new install of SBE results in an error when attempting to configure storage providers: admin->settings->basic->storage providers.

@Chris,

I mentioned the Storage Provider issue and you're likely to come across the other errors as well since you're running into this issue - but as a quick fix for the BlobStorageBackend ContentViewDefinition you can do the following:

Locate the ContentViewConfig.config in the App_Data\Sitefinity\Configuration folder and edit it. Around line 100 you'll see a bunch of <config link> lines, add this one to it:

Jochem, 

Hello guys,

We confirm the issue, and it affects only Small Business Edition versions. 
We'll provide a fix for this issue today.

@Jochem - thanks for the heads up and the additional information.

Dear Georgi

Is this bug just effecting new SB projects or also updates. There is another thread reporting multiple problems on updates.

Markus

PS: Please do not forget about us small businesses out here in the world. Test for us as well.

@Markus,

As you saw on Chris' reply this is effecting the entire Small Business Edition, upgrade or fresh install although symptoms may vary. Otherwise I wouldn't have put out such a warning...

I noticed a hotfix was just posted:

Hi,

Hotfix 1 update has been released, which fixes the problem.

@Markus - upgrades are affected as well. The problem is caused in an Install and Upgrade script sharing the same piece of code. I want to follow up on the statement for testing though.

We are testing all editions, regardless of how many customers we have with each license. A lot of unit, integration and automatic UI tests are actually shared. We've missed this one, since we've tested with a small error in one of the test licenses, issued weeks before the official licenses. Unfortunately we all know what small errors can do.

We are committed to provide fixes for all editions as soon as possible, especially if something is blocking your work, guys. 

Thanks Jochem and Christopher, for all the feedback, once again.
 

Dear Geori
Once again thank's for the great work and the quick fix-up. Some stuff just happens - I know. Seen it myself.
Great to have a chance to update now. Also a big thank's for providing the translations at the same time as the releases.
Markus

I've downloaded the Hotfix and ran the upgrade from the Project manager... Since I already had the broken project I needed a few extra steps:

Go to the SystemConfig.config file and remove the <add version="5.0.2500.0" name="Libraries" /> line.
Go to administration > Version &licensing and choose Update License.
Log out and close the project manager.
