OK - turns out that there are a bunch of temp files in the Compile folder within Smarty (Tools) which also need to be moved to the same place in the new installation. Having done that those errors have disappeared! Hope this helps anyone else with similar problems.

Any ideas at all?

Hi Rokk

I don't really have any idea, but did you make the files and folders that need to be: writeable (like with a new install instruction in Wike)

I did an upgrade on my local Windows PC, but its runs EasyPHP...

Its just a thought really

Hi - I usually work with LAMP installations, but my understanding is that this is set within IIS and you shouldn't need to set them manually after that (in fact you can't). The previous installation version 1.0 worked fine from the outset.

Does anyone know how to force Smarty to recompile templates? I'm still getting missing template errors - not sure if that's what's needed, but they didn't exist in the old compile folder.

[bykrmom]

'$force_compile' is available as a variable built-in to smarty. But rather than using that, you can use '$compile_check'. This tells smarty to see if there are changes to the templates and to recompile if the time stamps are different. Using the $force_compile would slow you down drastically, but would work. The value of $compile_check should be set to TRUE to use it.

Hope that helps you out?

Thanks - the problem was even simpler than that - the compile folder just needed permissions set properly (in IIS) and all worked a treat :-)

The entire update process took a day which is a bit painful - it would be good if this could somehow be improved, but while modification of modules etc is unavoidable I guess it's just' par for the course.
