The introduction of Overlays in version 7.6.04 is the reason you are encountering issues. Core forms need to have a customizations removed prior to doing the 7.6.04 upgrade.

Currently, encountering issues while running the installer to upgrade ARS to v7.6.04. It looks like the installer is failing due to customization on core forms. In this case, how can get these errors resolved to get the upgrade installation successful. Reached out to BMC & they are suggesting to export the data for the Core forms, delete the Core forms, run the installer again to install the Core forms and then create Overlays with Customizations and re-import the data. Before going down this path, I would like to check in here, if anybody encountered similar issues & how they were resolved? Also, if there is any other alternate way? My concern is identifying the customization to core forms and redoing will take considerate amount of time and also, down the road, what if we miss something and lose customization and end up in issues. Appreciate any help or advise you could provide in here. ******************************************************************************************************************************************** Errors from the various logs: 1.
