Upgrade to 2012 from 2005

  • Okay so let me start by saying that I have an environment that is SQL Server 2005 SP4 and we are attempting to upgrade to 2012. During our first run of the upgrade we had an issue where the install/upgrade failed due to a missing windows service pack (yea I know bad DBA); this was resolved.

    The next/current issue is that we keep getting all the way to the end of the upgrade and the upgrade fails with the following message: Specified instance {C22864D5-FB3F-4609-BF0C-ADBCC70742C4} via transform :InstID02.mst;:InstName01.mst is already installed. MSINEWINSTANCE requires a new instance that is not installed.

    When I review the report at the end of the upgrade it basically says that it failed on the Full Text Search component. Currently we are not actively using full text search in our DB. During the install we chose the option to "Reset" on the Full Text Search Page (not sure if this is an issue or not).

    Things we've done:

    - Cleared the Orphaned Registry Hives prior to reattempting upgrade

    - Performed command line uninstall prior to remove all components

    - Rebooted after above items....

    Following is the log file output; any help on resolving this issue would be great.

  • OS: Windows 2008 R2

  • which edition of SQL Server 2005 and 2012 are you upgrading between

  • 2005 SP4 Standard to 2012 Enterprise

  • So thanks for the responses; it turns out that there was an additional orphaned node in the Registry for Analysis Services that needed to be cleaned out as well. Once that was done the upgrade process ran through without any issue.

    Thanks again.
