Description of my issue:

Hi,

I've tried updating from Joomla 1.7.5 to 2.5 using Admin Tools but it doesn't seem to work. It does not pick up the latest 2.5 version of Joomla, and it says 1.7.5 is the latest version.

I am currently using Joomla 1.7.5 and trying to upgrade to 2.5.
I've tried using the Extension Manager auto update component, but this just throws a JInstaller Error message. I've also tried uploading the 2.5 file and updating that way, but this doesn't work.

Can you help me with a solution.

Thanks,

nicholas

Hi Eng,

This is because Admin Tools 2.2.0 and later is not compatible with Joomla! 1.7. I'm surprised it actually runs on your site. Anyway, here's what you have to do:
- Uninstall Admin Tools
- Download and install Admin Tools 2.2.a3
- Upgrade to Joomla! 2.5 with it
- Install Admin Tools 2.2.5 and reconfigure it
