D is actually a zip file and is just mis-labelled as a .sql file on the website. You need to have it installed in the scripts folder without unzipping it first.

It's only B and D that are .zip files, C and E are .sql files. You need to dump them into the scripts folder as-is; don't unzip them, rename them or otherwise change them otherwise the upgrade won't work.

It should also be noted that some dictionary upgrades take a VERY long time (several hours), depending on the size of the upgrade file and how many you're doing. The dictionary upgrade tool will look like it has crashed because it sits there during the upgrade with a rather baleful "not responding" message. If it looks like it has stopped working, check the Windows Task Manager Processes or Performance tab to see if your CPU is crunching away. If it is, then it's still working and you should just leave it alone. If your CPU is not apparently doing anything, then it probably has indeed crashed and we'll need to look at it further.

The current behavior of the dictionary upgrade tool - when it says "not responding" - is VERY misleading and confusing to users, so hopefully it'll be one of the things looked at in the next development cycle.

Thanks - it worked a treat now - unzipping was the pitfall I had fallen into

Hi

I am trying to do a dictionary upgrade but keep getting an error message 'Unable to create directory'. Has anyone else experienced this?

Many thanks Rob. It isn't  listed as message caused by this problem. I should  have thought of it.  I will add it to the list of errror messages for future reference.
