Install the Upgrade Utility

Install and Upgrade Prerequisites and the Upgrade Utility

Prior to using Upgrade Utility, you must install Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5, SQL Server System CLR Types Setup, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Objects. Depending on the operating system on your server and the version of SQL Server, these components may already be included. 

Note: If you are installing on SQL Server 2008, all prerequisites are already installed and you may skip to the installation installation of the Upgrade Utility.  If any of the prerequisites are missing, the utility will alert you to the needed components when you attempt to run it.

1. Download and install the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1 using Windows Update to ensure the proper package is installed. The other installation files have been included in the Upgrade Package for your convenience and are located in the Upgrade Utility folder.

Note: Both the 32- and 64-bit installation MSI files are included. 

2. To find the version of SQL Server currently installed, execute the following command in any database in the query window:

SELECT  SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

The following is an example of a result:

9.00.3073.00	SP2	Developer Edition (64-bit)
