Error while upgrading from MSDE 2000 SP3 to SP4

  • I am having some trouble running the SP4 upgrade on a MSDE 2k named instance.Its working for one instance but give me error for the second instance.

    - MSDE 2k sp3 currently installed

    - Windows XP Pro

    - Non-null SA pw

    - Executing setup.exe /UpgradeSP SQLRUN

    The install runs for a bit and then disappears. Here's what the very

    bottom of the log reads:

    === Logging stopped: 08/05/15 11:44:29 ===

    MSI (c) (64:F8) [11:44:29:698]: Note: 1: 1729

    === Verbose logging stopped: 08/05/15 11:44:29 ===

    The only other error I can see is this:

    Action start 11:44:29: RestoreSetupParams.2D02443E_7002_4C0B_ABC9_EAB2C06 4397B.

    MSI (s) (A8:B4) [11:44:29:651]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI19E.tmp, Entrypoint: RestoreSetupParams

    MsiEvaluateCondition for SQLMSDEInstalled returned TRUE

    End Function MyMsiEvaluateCondition

    Error reading setup parameters

    Action ended 11:44:29: RestoreSetupParams.2D02443E_7002_4C0B_ABC9_EAB2C06 4397B. Return value 3.

    Action ended 11:44:29: INSTALL. Return value 3.

    SYNTAX Used is : setup.exe /upgradesp sqlrun INSTANCENAME= SECURITYMODE=SQL UPGRADEUSER=sa UPGRADEPWD=MyPwd BLANKSAPWD=1 /L*v D:\MSDE.log

    Please note that I am using BLANKSAPWD=1 because BUILTIN\Administrators right is not present, the above syntax is working for one named instance but is failing in second named instance.:crying:

    I also tried upgrade another desktop, there it is failing for both instance giving the same error in log as posted above.

    I'll post the full log if that helps. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Onkar

  • Did you check the installation logs?

    The following files, found on your server, can help provide valuable error messages if your SQL Server installation fails:

    sqlstp.log (located in your \Windows or \WinNT directory)

    errorlog file (located in the \Log directory of the target installation directory)

    setup.log file (located in your \Windows or \WinNT directory)
