Hello, Blaine;
We upgraded from NV 5 to NV 5.1 some time ago. If you are going to migrate data 
and
definitions from the current version, make sure there are no specific nodes as 
the sources from
which to get traps in trapd.conf. Delete them before you start migration having 
made a copy of
trapd.conf beforehand (there was a discussion on this issue on the list). We 
were much troubled with
this problem for we could not proceed with the upgrade.
Also, you have to install the appropriate Framework patch before installing 
NetView.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Vladimir.
