Cannot Upgrade MSDE 2000 Sp3 to SP4

Hi!

Here's the scenario:

I have a MSDE 2000 installation running, already patched to SP3. Instancename is "STO". I've downloaded SQL2000.MSDE-KB884525-SP4-X86-ENU.exe and extracted the archive to C:\SQL2KSP4.

After starting setup from the command prompt with "setup /upgradesp sqlrun DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 /L*V C:\MSDELog.log" i get a message box, telling me "The product is not installed". This happens even if I specify the exact instancename and supply the sa user and pwd!

Any ideas?`

Thanks in advance and regards

In your command line, you need to specify the instance name and sa pass word. Would you try the following command line?

start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=sto SAPWD="<sa pass word>" SECURITYMODE=SQL

Thx for your reply, but if you look at my post above, you'll see that i also tried that! ;-)
