SQL 2005 (SP4) Standard edition upgrade to Enterprise edition failing

  • Hey Guys,

    I was upgrading SQL Edition one of our development SQL server running on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise. Current SQL 2005 is Standard edition with SP4 and I want to upgrade that to Enterprise edition. I used command line switch as below, and it failed. I tried the same command line switch on one dummy server and it completed successfully.

    start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb

    After the setup failed, I got the error below, can anyone please point me what's going wrong?
