SQL 2000 SP4 To SQL 2005 Upgrade Blocked.
Feb 15, 2007
I am upgrading a sql server 2000 with sp4 (I have double and triple checked the sp) on a windows 2003 sp1 server and I keep getting the following error:
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Service pack requirement check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of service pack requirements. To proceed, apply the required service pack and then rerun SQL Server Setup. For more information about upgrade support, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
I cannot find anything saying that I need any other service pack other than sp4 for sql serer 2000. Any one ever run into this or have a clue what might be causing the installer to think I have the wrong service pack?

Perhaps someone here can give me a hand with this...
I have three servers running SQL Server 2000. Two are running Windows Server 2000 SP4 with SQL 2000/SP4 and one Windows Server 2003 with SQL 2000/SP?(probably not 4). I copied the installation DVD to a network drive and successfully performed an in-place upgrade of the Windows Server 2003 machine. However, when I try to upgrade either of the other servers, I get an error indicating that I have a service pack problem.

Of course, the error doesn't indicate what the service pack problem actually is. My SQL 2005 media was probably released before SP4 was released because the Setup Help indicates that you can directly upgrade from SP3, but makes no mention of SP4. I can't imagine there are any migration problems with it since I can't find any reference to it as a problem on any SQL Server sites... So... I'm left wondering what my problem really is... :confused:
Any help would be appreciated.

I've inherited 6 sql server 2000 boxes. I've upgrade 3 with no trouble. now I have one that gives the message :
"your upgrade is blocked because of cross-language compatibility rules.
For more information about cross-language support, see the version..."
all servers are 2003, sp2. All SQL is Enterprise edition, default language is "english". even the collation order is
the same. why the cross language message? Any help would be good else I'll be forced to rebuild the DB and load application again. ugly!!

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools
Hello,
I am having a problem when trying to add the Client Components to an existing installation of SQL 2005 Standard Edition SP1 running on Windows 2003 Standard. The server was originally built with SQL 2005 Standard Edition and had SP1 installed at a later date. I am using the CD that SQL was originally installed with which is not a service packed copy of SQL. The reason given when clicking the details button is as follows:
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting the following error message when I tried installing the 2005 Developer Edition from the MSDN kit. I previously installed the 2005 Express Edition, and it worked just fine, so I thought that the install failed as it was at a lower version than the Express Edition. I uninstalled the SQLExpress Edition, however, when I try to install SQL Server 2005 again, I get the following message:

I have also installed Visual Studio NET, and I wonder if some component in the Studio app is holding back the SQL Server install. I have uninstalled all SQL components several times already, and I keep on getting this message.

I have a very strange problem when I try to install SQL Express 2014 on 1 PC on my network.
The setup is blocking on the step "rules of functionnality" (I hope it is the good translation ...).
I ha ve a message that indicates that there is a problem the following checking : "It exists a Internet connection with the download center for Microsoft Framework 4.0". At the beginning I had Framework 3.5 and 4.5 installed on the PC.
When I tried to install manually Framework 4.0 I had a message that indicated that the setup was not possible because there was a Superior version. So I uninstall v4.5 and install v4.0 normally.
I run again SQL 2014 Express setup but I have always the same error. I take a look on Internet to look for the same problem but I found nothing.

Hello,
I have a project where I have to upgrade SQL 2000 to 2005. When we are upgrading we are going to move to new server so server name will change. Most of our applications have a hard coded connection string. Applications are developed with Classic ASP, .NET 1.1 and 2.0 as well.
Now the question is what is the best way to do this? Changing all the connection string will be a very painful task as we have many applications.
Can anyone suggest a way where we can achieve this without changing all the connection strings?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005?
I was under the impression that it was as easy as following an upgrade path after popping in the CD, but I realized it's not.
I'm a Systems Administrator who has installed both version in stand alone systems, but never tried an upgrade.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I would like to upgrade sql server 2000 to sql 2005. So Can I install the sql server 2005 on the same server where sql 2000 is already running and then use the database upgrade wizard. Or should I install the sql server 2005 on a different server.
Thanks

I have a sql 2000/2005 side-by-side install on a single server. I right-click a sql 2000 database, select All Tasks, and the Copy Database to upgrade a sql 2000 database. In the "Copy Database Wizard" I see the message:
"To use the detach and attach method SQL Server Agent must run under an Integration Servicers Proxy account that can access the file system of both the source and destination servers."
1. What does that mean?
2. I decided to click "Finish" in the wizard, and the database copy seemed to work fine. Whaterver 1) means does, by default, the SQL Server Agent already run under this "Integration Services Proxy" account. (Rememberr the upgrade process did work).
TIA,

I am in the beginning of upgrading a SQL 2000 DB on a Small business server to a 64 bit 2005 DB on a new box. Is my best method of upgrading to use the "copy" DB function in 2005? If so, what do I need to do to install the management tools on the 2000 box - since this is a 32 bit edition, and I have the 64 bit media?

I got a requirement to upgrade only One SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 server. i did check that there are only databases in this server along with Linked server. I am looking for a best practice document for SQL upgrade and any thoughts or experience any one has faced during upgrade.
Other question is what about if there is a DTS on the server. right now on this particular server there is no DTS but in coming weeks i may need to upgrade other server which is having DTS as well. I have worked alot on SSIS packages but want to see if DTS will be converted to SSIS packages or i will have to manually do it.
Thanks

Hi,
We have 2 .net 1.1 applications using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. To connect to database we are using nHibernate 0.6 for one application and Microsoft Enterprise Library Data Blocks Ver 1.0 in another.
We are planning to upgrade SQL servers of both applications to SQL 2005 Enterprise edition and retain .net 1.1 framework. Are nHibernate 0.6 and Microsoft Enterprise Library 1.0 data blocks compatible with the SQL 2005? Are any upgrades required for these as well?
We ran SQL upgrade advisor report on these applications, there weren't any changes to table/ stored procs suggested. Could that mean that the existing table design and stored procs are compatible with SQL 2005?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi all,
I just ran sql upgrade advisor and got the following message:
"You can use SQL Server 2005 tools to edit your existing DTS packages. However, upgrading or
uninstalling the last instance of SQL Server 2000 on a computer removes the components required
to support this feature. You can retain or restore these components by installing the special
Web download, €œSQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components,€? from the Microsoft Download Center
before or after you upgrade or uninstall SQL Server 2000."
I do have several DTS packages in my sql server 2000 database. does that mean if I upgrade my current 2000 database to 2005, those dts will be gone. But I can download sql server 2000 dts deginer components on our new sql 2005 database server before I upgrade. Then when I restore my sql 2000 database on our new 2005 server, eveything would be OK? I am not sure if my understanding is correct.
My advisor is on my local computer and I am running analysis against a remote database(on our intranet),€œSQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components,€? should be intalled on my local computer or remote database server? what steps I should take in order to retain my dts package or transform it into something else?
can you shed light on me?
Thanks.
Betty

I am going through upgrading our current installation of SQL 2000 to 2005. When I install 2005 it doesn't seem to upgrade the server, but only installs the server tools. Do I need to completely remove 2000 in order to upgrade? Thanks!

Hi all,
Recently, I upgraded one of our database servers from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. At the moment, all the databases are in 80 compatibility mode. I upgraded them based on the false pretenses that I could perform online reindexing right off the bat. Apparently, that isn't the case, and it requires switching to 90 compatibility. My question is if I switch to 90, will all indexes be invalidated/unusable? Or will I be able to switch to 90 and perform the online reindexing right away with no downtime?
We have a few 24/7 production VLDB's in the mix (one of which is on this newly upgraded server), and only reasonable downtime is possible. The largest window of downtime I have is about 10 PM - 5 AM with prior notice.
The upgrade was performed using SAN-based LUN's with a detach/reattach.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello
Server Details:
OS => Windows Server 2003
SQL => SQL Server 2005
Client Machines:
OS => WinXP sp2
SQL => 2000, 2005 express
The developers at work connect remotely to the server. Some of them have the "client SQL 2005 express" and others are using "SQL 2000"
Over the next week I plan to upgrade all the developers to 2005 Standard.
I have performed an upgrade of '2005 express' to '2005 standard' and encountered no problems. However I have no experience upgrading the 2000 client.
Can anyone suggest a strategy (fresh install/upgrade)or highlight any pitfalls that I should avoid.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered.
Regards
Toby

Initially, the articles I read suggested that doing an "in place" upgrade is the simplest path, with the drawback that if something goes wrong, I'll have to re-install 2000. And that migrating is more difficult since I'll have to recreate all the logins , security, replication ....
Then I saw a series of posts saying migration is the best ... backup & restore (or detach, reattach) the DBs to a new instance of SQL 2005. What about the systems DBs, such as MSDB and the DTS packages ?? Also, If I migrate to a new instance of SQL, how will I re-establish the connections from other servers ? They are replicating or DTS-ing to ServerA, but now SQL2005 is on ServerASQL2005 (Same server, different instance.
In the scale of things, we have fairly simple environments, although our Production database is almost 300 Gig.
If I install a new instance of SQL 2005 on my SQL 2000 server, and migrate everything from 2000 to 2005, I now have 2 instances: ServerA and ServerASQL2005. All my other servers are referencing the original instance name of ServerA. How do I resolve that problem so that communication between the other servers will still work ??

I've installed a test instance of SQL 2000 on a test box. I want to try the In-Place upgrade to 2005. I installed 2005 on the test box also, but have been unable to see how to perform the upgrade. I thought running 2005 setup again would prompt me for an instance name .... but it just tells me 2005 is already installed. I must be missing something simple.

Good Morning!
I am beginning the process of moving SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005 cluster.
Has anyone already did this and is there anything I should know?
We plan on leaving the SQL 2000 database up during this process and granting read only at the time.
I am nervous about this as this is a high profile database in our dept.
I don't even know if I know where to begin!
Any suggestions are truely welcome!
Thanks,

a.Full Backup
b.Overwrite Existing Media Set
c.To File with Extension .BAK
d.Locate backup on DEV @ X:SqlServer_DataMSSQL2K5BACKUP
e.Make sure Backup File Name has _for_2k5_migration.BAK at the end
2.Create Database on SQL Server 2005 System on DEV
a.MYSERVERDEVELOPMENT2K5
b.Data files go to : X:SqlServer_DataMSSQL2K5DATA
c.Log files go to : X:SqlServer_DataMSSQL2K5LOG
d.Set Compatibility to 80 (SQL SERVER 2000)
3.Restore Backup to 2005 From File
a.Options Tab – Check Overwrite existing database
b.Once Restore is completed set compatibility mode to 90 (Sql Server 2005)
4.Script all Logins to 2K5
a.Go into 2000 server Security -> Logins
b.Script as CREATE TO Clipboard
c.Open query on 2K5 DB

Hello,
First off, thanks to all for taking the time to read and respond to this question of mine. Greatly appreciated.
Let me explain my current scenario followed with the question. We currently have our VB application written and working at various client sites on SQL 2000. We did received a number of request on upgrading to SQL 2005. We did some preliminary testing in-house on SQL 2005 (backed up the 2000 database and restored on 2005 which worked just great). It is also my hope that technically, everything should work just fine since 2005 is backward compatible to 2000.
Is anybody aware of any issues with taking a 2000 database and getting it to work on SQL 2005 without any mods?
Thanks.

Hi Friends, I am trying to Upgrade my Sql server 2000 Enterprise edition with SP4 to Sql server 2005 Enterprise edition (Inplace upgrade). The Sql 2000 machine was just now installed and applied with SP4 and has only system databases I want to try configuring Log Shipping in sql 2000 and then perform some testing by upgrading it to sql 2005.........so thats why i went for sql 2000.The OS is Windows 2003 server with SP1 and has sufficient hard disk space. I knew that it is possible to perform Upgrade from Sql 2000 SP3 or later (Enterprise edition) to Sql 2005 Enterprise edition. But when I run the sql 2005 Enterprise edition Setup, I provide the instance name in the dialog box! and beneath it there is "Installed instances" box is present if i click it, it shows the version and edition of my sql 2000 instance as 8.00.194 which is nothing but Sql 2000 RTM version. Hence I am unable to proceed with the installation as it says to refer the version and edition upgrades are not matching as per the requirements........But if i open the query analyser for that instance and type
Code Block
Select @@Version or Select Serverproperty('Productlevel') it displays the o/p as SP4Also in the error log it shows as 8.02039 which is Sql 2000 SP4 I am a bit confused even though sp4 is installed i am unable to perform the upgrade ? Feel free to provide your valuable suggestionsadvice if any ?RegardsDeepak

Dear All..
I have a few databases running a sql2000 and the time as come to move them onto sql2005. Which would be the best route to take.
If I can think back to older version it was just a simply job of doing a backup in it's current version then restore in the new version? and upgrade was taken while restoring.. I could be wrong but any help !!
Thanks

I am currently using sql server 2000 and I have just installed sql server 2005 in a separate box that will be used as the production server so I will be upgrading to the new database server soon.
I was reading the upgrade options for this situation and one option is to detach the 2000 database, copy the mdf and log files to the new server and attach it to mssql 2005. Another option is to recreate the tables, views, etc. and export/import the data to the new server.
I would like to ask what the best option is for this situation because I am not sure what the advantages and disadvantages of just detaching/attaching and recreating the database in sql server 2005. If I just detach/attach the database, will there be any disadvantage in the performance because the database files were created in 2000 and is functioning because of backward compatibility in 2005? Would it be better to recreate the database in 2005 and import the data from 2000 so that the database would be running in a way that is designed for 2005?
I am not really sure of the differences of these upgrade options so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
