Upgrading from SQL 2000 to 2005 Error -1
Posted on November 25, 2009
Ever had your Upgrade Advisor return an error while upgrading an instance of SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005?
UpgradeAdvisor returned -1 .
I have, in two different circumstances,
- While choosing an instance from the installed instances and choosing one of them to upgrade.
- While running upgrade advisor exclusively.
Heres what to do, Copy the BPAClient.dll file from the following location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\BPA\bin to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\BPA.
Rerun the setup.
