Problem with Database Version

[alexvazquez]

Im new to OpenDental and I just download the sourcecode. It compiles without any problem.

My issue is with the database. I install mysql and create a db named "opendental", then I import the SQL dump located in: C:\OpenDental\opendental7.2\packaging\opendentaldata\mysql.sql

Then i excecute it and it runs perfect allocating 416KB. After that I run the application and i get a message saying:

"Your database will no be converted from version 3.4.17.0 to version 7.2.39.0....." Then i click OK. After 3 seconds i get another message:

"ConversionFiles folder could not be found. Your database has not been altered....." and then i cant open the application. I just try to find in the opendental portal a SQL Dump for this version 7.2.39.0 but i havent lucky.

Any clue or help on how to run this please.

Thanks a lot!!

That's where you went wrong. Look again at the second sentence on this page:

The only way to get the proper database installed is to install the trial version. Not by using any kind of dump.
