Upgraded to a mess of a Back Office, with no link to the back offfice from the install window

[dt88]

So I have spent days on this and donno what is happening
I havent been able to play on a local server on the computer through the WAMP, the next buttons on the install didnt show, and the XAMPP doesnt like a 64 bit computer. So my solution was to copy the database, rename it and upload it onto the original server, I have my original Version 1.3.2.3 happy as larry but is missing some key features which I really need, in addition I installed a fresh copy of 1.4 on the server aswell

so I have original 1.3.2, upgraded 1.3.2-1.4.1 and a fresh install 1.4.1 on my server.

I love the fresh install of 1.4.1, has what I need still waiting on a few more features but its worth the effort of upgrading. Now, the upgrade of 1.3.2 gets ugly, in the install it went smoothly, but the final page didnt have a link to the BO, only FO. Thought it was sus but didnt think anything of it at the time, but I open up the admin via login and its a total mess, the server and databases are running on the same setup so I can remove them as problems. The only change is the database, I am at a loss how the database changes the layout and speed of the backoffice admin.

Can someone please explain this? check out the graphics attached, the text is different, the nav bar has shadows, the graphics are different as is the layout, I have dead links can not open, expand or install modules, can not install themes as I require to install the theme module.

(ignore the site speed, I have been shaped due to exceeding my dl/ul)

Was sent 1.4.2 via email

Got it to install on my WAMP after follwoing instuctions in the bug report, but no improvement on the situation, see the graphic attached to see what I was talking about with the missing BO link. prestashop/admin_sdlj doesnt log in now. I havent tested it on my remote server yet but I was hoping for better things

its a pitty

does any one know whats going on?

I have this same issue when trying to upgrade. Fresh install doesn't seem to have the issue. Any ideas what causes that to happen?
