Re: Upgradng from sql express to developer

Yes, tried that.
/? doesn't seem to give you all the switches because I see no skuupgrade on
the list when I do that.

skuupgrade=1 is the switch the error recommends.
When you run
setup.exe /SKUUPGRADE=1
it tells you it can't upgrade the version and you should use the
skuupgrade=1 switch.
Tried that with several variations with upper and lower case and "/" and
not....
It now tells me that it won't upgrade because there's a later version on the
machine.

Start | Run | cmd <enter>
navigate to the specific location
setup.exe /?
or just setup.exe

Did it tell you what command line param to pass to setup?

I have a XP development machine with sql express on it.
I would like to install sql 2005 developer on this machine.
When I run setup it tells me I need to run the setup from a command
line.
I can't find any info on doing this.
Any help appreciated.
TIA
