  • Are you doing inplace upgrade?

    where is your installation files on the local server or in the network... if you are upgrading using network path, copy the installation files locally and then try..

  • Did you ever get the issue resolved with "the network path was not found" when trying to upgrade form SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005?

    We have been running on a client over a VPN tunnel. We are going to load on a machine in our DataCenter and run to see if this stops the issue.

    Please let me know if anyone has experienced.

  • Hi Lynn

    If i am right, u are using a VPN tunnel to link to datacentre, check the VPN tunnel, is there any restriction of data flow, first do a basic test wether the netwrok is accessible and it is on ur domain,
