Post Installation Manual Update (Optional)
If you have changed any of the .cshtml file(s) after last update, then .cshtml file(s) will not getting updated by patch. This happens because update installer finds that last modified date of .cshtml file is different than what was installed last time (RTM/ Update 1/ Update 2), it skips updating this file while installing Update 3. To make update work properly in this case either
1) for all .cshtml files either revert back these files to last installed version (RTM/ Update 1/ Update 2) or
2) install portal on new machine (do not need to connect to any sdk server) and then patch it with Update 3. This way you will be able to get latest files. You can directly copy new file to your deployment.
