you have to provide the strong password you initially provided at MSDE
installation...
or... you can log in via oSql.exe with a trusted connection (as long as you
are logged in Windows as a local admini) and set the sa password to
wathever you want via
EXEC sp_password @.new = 'whatever' . @.loginane = 'sa'
then do upgrade via
C:\MSDEsp4\MSDE>setup.exe /upgradesp SQLRUN INSTANCENAME=ACME SAPWD=whatever
SECURITYMODE=SQL /L*v c:\msde.log

except fo including /L*v c:\msde.log in quotes, like /L*v "c:\msde.log" , I
really have no further idea...
I always succesfully upgraded MSDE RTM and sp3/sp3a instances...

:-|
just a note... blanksapwd=1 and SAPWD=mypassword shoud be mutual exclusive..
and /L*v c:\msde.log should be /L*v "c:\msde.log" to prevent long name
problems... but should not cause problem in the case...
sorry... out of ideas... never heard this exception on sp4 .. but please
have a look at http://tinyurl.com/bu5r3

MSDE SP4 Upgrade problem

Recently when I try to upgrade my current MSDE2000 (SP3a) to SP4 in Windows
XP – SP2, the system just keep on failing me. He is the scenario:
1. Download the MSDE 2000 SP4 from Microsoft site
2. Extract the MSDE SP4
3. Run the following command via command prompt or batch file:
echo off
echo "Start to Upgrade MSDE SP4 ... "
setup.exe /UPGRADESP SQLRUN INSTANCENAME=JSNG SECURITYMODE=SQL
UPGRADEUSER=sa UPGRADEPWD=Th3B3st /L*v c:\MSDE_Log.log
echo "SP4 Upgrade Process completed!"
4. Once the above batch file was run, the standard configuration
screen (gathering information) will be triggered
5. However, after a while the installation will just stopped (before
the title of the windows has changed to show the instance name)
6. When I checked on the verbose log, I have found out that the failure
of the installation is due to the system has failed to configure the server.
PFB for the last few rows of the verbose log:
=== Logging stopped: 8/22/2006 17:36:49 ===
MSI (c) (90:88) [17:36:49:865]: Note: 1: 1729
MSI (c) (90:88) [17:36:49:865]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine
-- Configuration failed.
MSI (c) (90:88) [17:36:49:865]: Grabbed execution mutex.

any exist
MSI (c) (90:88) [17:36:49:865]: MainEngineThread is returning 1603
=== Verbose logging stopped: 8/22/2006 17:36:49 ===
7. Since this is the configuration error, so I have tried to locate
the cnfgsvr.out and hope to get some hints from there, but unfortunately the
config server file is still not updated yet where it still keep the old info
during the installation of MSDE 2000 SP3a.
8. When I try to locate the error (value = 3), I have found out the
its due to the system has detected blank sa password, but I am sure that the
password that I has provided is correct. PFB for the error recorded in the
verbose log:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
Setup.{EFB70B01-B1F3-4960-AB69-4A280084A60C}

Property(S): ALLUSERS = 1
Property(S): ARPNOMODIFY = 1
Property(S): DefaultUIFont = Tahoma8
9. I have even try to use a different command line and yet it failed.
PFB for the alternative command line that I have used:
setup.exe /UPGRADESP SQLRUN INSTANCENAME=JSNG SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=Th3B3st
/L*v
10. I have tried the same in a Windows 2000 Std Server - SP4, and yet it
failed.
During my testing, I have closed down all SQL related activities, including
the followings:
1. Microsoft OutLook
2. SQL Agent Service
3. Easyship Scheduler
But I still experience the above.
I have tried to re-run the same in one of my fresh Windows XP (in virtual
machine), and everything just works fine. Could it be any unclean registry
entry that fail this? Or could it be any software component that is
incompatible with this? Does it have anything to do with the version of MS
Installer being installed in my machine? FYI, I have installed the latest MS
Installer 3.1 before when I tried to install SQL Express, however after I
have remove it, the problem still persist.
Do you have any idea on the above? PFA for the versbose log.

MSDE SP4

Can anyone please help me with upgrading to MSDE 2000 SP4
I need to upgrade BKUPExec Instance from SP3 to SP4 on Windows 2003 server.
The instance was installed by default while installing BKUPExec. Evry time I
run the upgrade from the command line using
setup /upgradesp sqlrun INSTANCENAME = BKUPEXEC /L*v C:\MSDElog.log
the upgrade fails. I am guessing it is failing becasue it was not installed
using the MSDE 2000 setup CD. Is it any way to upgrade it and getting working.
Thank you for your help.

MSDE SP3a Upgrade problem

I just upgraded my desktop engine MSDE 1.0 to MSDE 2000 SP3a. Everything seemed to go well, MSSQLSERVER AND SQLSERVER Agent Services are running, problem is, I can no longer see the particular instance on the network from Enterprise Manager.

The installation instructions specified that if the Instance was to accept connections from applications on other computers not to specify the DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS parameter, so I didn't.

I'm a little green with this, can anyone suggest a place to start troubleshooting?Can you pull it up in Query Analyzer. Just type in (local) or whatever your instance name is for the connection server and see if it connects.

MSDE not keeping an ALTER modifcation

Hi Everyone,
Today i faced the following issue : An MSDE Database I had been working
on in the morning in order to be able to upgrade our software, with
the statement:
Through Osql :
1)IF ( (SELECT currentSize= (size /128) FROM
PMI_Operations.dbo.sysfiles WHERE groupid = 1) < 200)
2)PRINT 'PMI_Operations under 200Mb'
3)GO
'PMI_Operations under 200Mb'
1)IF ( (SELECT currentSize= (size /128) FROM
PMI_Operations.dbo.sysfiles WHERE groupid = 1) < 200)
2)PRINT 'PMI_Operations under 200Mb...please wait while increasing'
3)ALTER DATABASE [PMI_Operations] MODIFY FILE (NAME =
N'PMI_Operations', SIZE = 200)
'PMI_Operations under 200Mb...please wait while increasing'
1)
It worked fine.
I came back to the box in the afternoon, after rush hour, and did same
test again (
1)IF ( (SELECT currentSize= (size /128) FROM
PMI_Operations.dbo.sysfiles WHERE groupid = 1) < 200)
2)PRINT 'PMI_Operations under 200Mb'
3)GO
expecting it to not display the print message, but it did !! I had to
run the ALTER again.
What could have caused my morning ALTER to be discarded by the
Afternoon ?
Thanks for any help you can bring
Rgards

MSDE fail after upgrade from WIN98 to WINXP HOME

Anyone can help?
I installed MSDE in WIN98 and then upgrade to WINXP home, after that, MSDE failure and i can't reinstall MSDE again, already call microsoft support and try something but no help at all.

Not to be rude, but your first mistake was attempting to upgrade Win9x to
XP.
MSDE installed under Win9x is a completely different animal than an
installation on the NT style operating systems. With Win9x there are no
service applications so MSDE runs as a standard application when the system
starts up. When you upgrade your OS to XP there is no magical conversion of
the MSDE installation to it running as a service. Your best bet is to backup
your databases and then manually uninstall MSDE. Microsoft has an article on
how to do this at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290991
After uninstalling MSDE re-install it and restore your databases.
