• Describing the steps that helped me in getting the solution since this is the first site that gets opened up while searching for this type of error 🙂

    The summary.txt shows the following errors:

    11.2.5548.0 No Yes

    SQL Server 2012 UPGRADETO2012.INACTIVE MSSQL11.UPGRADETO2012 Database Engine Services 1033 Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing

    It seems that the running the below command to remove the SQL feature might not ran properly resulting in making the Instance inactive

    setup /q /action=uninstall /instanceid=UPGRADETO2012 /features=RS,SQLENGINE,FULLTEXT,REPLICATION

    Seaching indepth on google took me to a link that describes the solution.

    Hope that helps.
