Hi there,
I am trying to upgrade to SQL server 2012 EE from SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 64bit (10.50.4000 ) (from the ISO that includes both 32 and 64 versions of SQL server 2012).
All components of SQL server 2008 are installed and active (DB Engine, SQL Agent, SSIS, SSRS, SSAS, FTS Daemon and SSMS).
The Setup/Upgrade process passes all checks and rules but when it gets to the "Selected Features" page it shows only "Documentation Components" (all is disabled). All the main features of SQL Server are NOT there: DB engine, SSAS, SSRS etc. and none of the shared components and client tools - ONLY documentation. See image below:
The upgrade process continues well, but finishes very quickly, leaving only Documentation folder under the SQL server 2012 program group. The existing Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 remained intact and was not upgraded.
The machine is virtual. Win server 2008R2 Enterprise 64bit. The setup program runs from a local folder.
I couldn’t find any explanation for this behaviour.
Please help!
Thanks
