    how long have you left it for, what do you see in task manager?

    I've left it for several minutes but didn't notice anything in task manager.

    Also... Just curious. What version are you currently on?

    SQL is 2008 Enterprise SP1

    Sorry... Can you run SELECT @@version and post the full version?

    At this point i would drill into the extracted SP folder and find the sqlsupport.msi and install the support tools manualy then retry setup

  • The problem seems to be with sql 2008 setup support files. Just un-install setup support file and run the setup again.

    What does setupbootstrap logs says ?

    Setupbootstrap logs don't say anything unfortunatly. I have to schedule a new attempt at the upgrade, but as soon as I have one I'll give the un-install of the setup support files a try.

    Thanks

    Any chance you have an unused support case you could open with MS? Sometimes that has to be a last resort 🙁

    Not yet. I'll try that first, and if it doesn't doesn't work then I'll try the uninstall 🙂

  • Well I have now tried running sqlsupport.msi from the patch, but that didn't make a difference. I then tried uninstalling sql support, that that didn't help either. And then just for good measure I reinstalled sql support using the sqlsupport.msi. Still no help.

    I guess I'm down to creating a microsoft case unless anyone has any other suggestions?

    Thanks

  • Be sure to check all the log files. You may find something in one that points to the problem.

  • try using the extract command you use when setting up SQL the slipstream way.

    program.exe /x:C:\SP3

    please make sure you have precreated a directory called SP3 on c:\ drive.

  • (Right) So, this is 2008, not 2008 R2?

    I've checked all of the logs I know of, although I plan to search for more. Unfortunately this appears to be so early in the process that nothing is being logged.

    I've already extracted it. Unfortunately it didn't have any real affect.
