windows - Upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise -


When I tried to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, then passed all tests And then it fails

and a window error message:

There are validation errors on this page Right click to close this dialog box Please review the errors on the button on the setup page, then provide valid parameters or for more information Click on the sign.

Is it possible to proceed or do I need to backup, uninstall Express and then install the latest Enterprise Edition?

Supported versions and version upgrade paths are listed. Your renewal path is one supported:

  SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Advanced Services with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SQL Server 2008 R2 Workgroup SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer with SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SQL Server 2008 R2 Data Center  

with the following note:

This SQL Server version will be upgraded to SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Clusters on 64-bit Server's 32-bit Subsystem (WOW64) are not supported in WOW mode if the In SQL Server 2000, or the SQL Server 2005 Failover Cluster 32-bit Subsystem (WOW64) failure cluster is not supported on the upgrade for SQL Server 2008 R2.

Is your express edition 32-bit installed and are you trying to upgrade it to 64-bit Enterprise?
