Blocking Error during Upgrade GrantObjectsRightsOnClassTypeWhereInheritanceBroken GrantEveryoneCreateRightsOnCategoryObjectClassObjectsWithBrokenInheritance

Issue

If you run into the following blocking error during an upgrade:

13:32:45:>> AuthorizationBase.Execute: Finish GrantObjectsRightsOnClassTypeWhereInheritanceBroken 'GrantEveryoneCreateRightsOnCategoryObjectClassObjectsWithBrokenInheritance'. Successful: False 

13:32:45:>> Target.Execute: !Completed: GrantEveryoneCreateRightsOnCategoryObjectClassObjectsWithBrokenInheritance, Success: False 

13:32:45:>> Component.Execute: Logged Error: Internal error has caused the install to terminate:  

13:32:45:>> Executor.ExecuteComponent: Logged Error: Blocking execution exception occurred, install cannot continue:

Cause

It may be due to a category with no name.  To determine if this the case, run the following SQL query:

SELECT * FROM [Category].[System] WHERE [Name] = N'' 

Resolution

If an empty category is identified, you can run the following query to give it a placeholder name, and Recover the Upgrade:

UPDATE [Category].[System] 

SET [Name] = N'Unnamed Category System (ID ' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX), [Id]) + N')' 

WHERE [Name] = N'';
