Problem upgrading to EC4.5 -> sql version 2000

Hi all,

I am upgrading from Enterprise Console 3.0 to 4.5. I followed the advisory, but are running into a problem now.

Initially the enterprise console and database were on the same machine. msde 2000.

I did the following steps:

1> Move db to sql 2005 instance ( part of sql 2005 cluster)

2> Adjust registry keys to connect EC to database

= These steps worked as I could manage my installation and clients

3> Install EC 4.02 on db server...(fill db later)

4> Install EC 4.02 on EC server

5>ran upgradedb -sourceVersion=3

= Enterprise console did the conversion and is working.

6> Install EC 4.5 on db server (fill db later)

When I try to install EC 4.5 on the EC server, I get an error saying that the installer cannot continue because sql version 2000.

I checked the compatibility mode of the database. This is version "90". (sql2005)

I stopped the instance of msde on the EC server

What can I do more to complete the upgrade?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Oscar Tasseron

  • Glad it's ok. Uninstalling the database role should really be done as it is this action which remove the database feature from the install.


    The Upgrade Advisor obtains from MSI the features installed.  If it finds that the database feature is installed but the database is remote then it will suspect something is not how it should be.  The "Database location" check int the UGA will fail this condition.
