I've got an x64 Standard install of 2005, I'm trying to upgrade to x64 Standard 2008. When I run the upgrade I get the error "There are no features selected for upgrade". When I look at the log, it seems that the existing installation is not being detected:

It shows the exact same thing, which is nothing, basically:

Hi,
Not being able to view the services via SSCM is the root cause here. Can you review this KB and check your permissions for the network service as per this KB?

one thing else can you upload all log folders under
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log
you can use file sharing/storage service like SkyDrive.com to share the log folders

Friday, October 05, 2012 4:29 PMOk, I've done this and verified it's in place by setting a service to Disabled then rebooting and the service comes back up as Automatic by way of the GP. However, there is still nothing in SSCM.

You may have to contact Microsoft Support but I would be considering a re-install of 2005. It looks like the underlying permissions have been messed up and I would have concerns about trying to upgrade on this hardware. I might event consider installing 2008 side by side with 2005 then migrate the databases to the 2008 instance.Sean Massey | Consultant, iUNITE
