MSDE 1 Upgrade to MSDE 2000 SP3A

[Trevor Rutter]

I am trying to upgrade a number of remote sites from MSDE 1 to MSDE 2000 ready.

Some sites are XP/SP1 and some are XP/SP2. As yet I have had no problems
with XP/SP1 sites but on some of the XP/SP2 sites I get the following error
message:-

Starting custom action SetFileAndRegACLs()
Failed to set file security.
Ending custom action SetFileAndRegACLs().
Action ended 09:26:14: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

At this point the install fails and rolls back.

The command I am entering is

setup UPGRADE=1 BLANKSAPWD=1 DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 /L*v MSDE.LOG

Any suggestions on what the problem is?
