SEC 4.0 installer wants to install SQL2005 but SQL2008 is already installed

Colehill

I am upgrading one of my client's SEC3 installation to SEC4.5 but I have to jump through various hoops.  I have run the adviser, printed the instructions and am following the steps.  I upgraded my MSDE 2000 installation to SP4 and then to SQLEXPRESS 2008 - rebooting several times in the process as I also had to update the Windows installer.   I can't upgrade directly from SEC3 to SEC4.5, I have to go through SEC4.0 ... but SEC4.0 wants to first install SQLEXPRESS 2005 ... and then complains that there isn't enough disk space (but there is).  

How can I upgrade through SEC4.0 without having to install yet another version of SQLEXPRESS?

Any suggestions?

    HI,

    Before upgrading to SEC 4, you need to get to a position where you have the SQL 2005 Express instance with the SOPHOS3 database attached and the Sophos Management Service can still start.

    I assume that the new SQL 2005 instance you installed has the same instance name as that stored in the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sophos\EE\Management Tools\Database Installer\Instance

    Regards,
