Upgrade Help

Mar 13, 2001

Hi,
I plan to move my servers from Windows NT and SQL 7 to Win2K Advanced Server and SQL 2000. I am not going to upgrade the windows server, as I have been told this isn't a good thing. Therefore, I plan to detach my databases, install win2K, install SQL 2000, and then attach the databases. I've read that this works fine, but I am curious as to whether or not I can do this with master and msdb(as I want to keep all logins, jobs, etc). Is this possible? Also, is my plan decent? it seems to be the easiest way to me...
Thanks!

SQL 2005 SP1 Upgrade Error For Upgrade Advisor

Jan 19, 2007

Hi,

We are performing a SQL 2005 SP1 upgrade from SQL 2000 on our Windows 2003 SP1 Standard Edition.

When we run the upgrade, we got a error "Upgrade Advisor Return -1" as a pop-up window.

When we run the Upgrade Advisor separately, we get this error :

===================================

Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.

===================================

Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program. (System.Xml)

Program Location:

We are in a lost for solutions. We do hope to hear from anyone asap...

Greatly appreciated for any kind assistance.

Thanks.
