This isn't the first upgrade where I've had this problem. Often I run an upgrade and it gets stuck during the "Post Installation Cleanup" and EasyBlog is unusable until I restore a backup.

What exactly is happening during the Post Installation Cleanup that could stick like this? Also, as I have a complex server configuration, is there a manual way to force the upgrade. Ideally, I would just like to extract files on top of the older files (replacing where necessary) and run some SQL update script (if there were some database modifications). Is there a way to get a package and instructions for a manual update as your script seems to have gotten stuck on multiple occasions?

Thanks.
