    Once you complete the install, you can search the entire system for the most recent modified files. There is a setup log you can review to see what happened.

    I tried to go from 2012 -> 2014. Two of the VMs worked, one didn't. However it's gotten me concerned about upgrading any more. I am looking at new installs as named instances, or uninstall/reinstalls for me.

    I wonder if I shouldn't do that. Back up all of my databases, do an uninstall and then a reinstall. Maybe that would be better.
