    My SQL Server 2005 upgrade failed with errors.  That is all it said, and stopped the upgrade process.

    When I try to start the install/upgrade again....it wont do the database server?  

    Anyone know any way to get it to upgrade my SQL Server 2000, without uninstalling SQL2k and then doing a full install of 2005?

    Thanks in Advance

    There is nothing in the SQL Server error log.    Is there an upgrade log?

    All

    Thanks for your posts.   The error log helped.

     

    The problem, as far as I can tell, is that a developer version of SQL Server 2000 will not upgrade.    These Servers were all installed before I came here and were installed using the developer version.

    The solution has been to install standard edition and move the databases over using either backup/recover or offline/attach.

    Thanks for your help.
