[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1177992, member: 141969"] When I tried to upgrade from 1.9.0 pre to 1.12.0 final, I had an error with the SQL installation. :( After several attempts, the solution that worked for me was to [b]deselect[/b] the installation or upgrading of SQL during the installation of MP. :) It seems to me that SQL is a "once only" installation. Once installed, you can never ever get rid of it or upgrade it, so you are stuck with whatever SQL you have at the moment. :( If you want to install different SQL software, I would suggest re-formatting your C: drive, and re-installing Windows from your Windows DVD. :eek: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
