Add Skoopgrade=1 ?

Hi!
I downloaded Sql server 2005 Standard directly, when I got this message. I am not used to the commandprompt, and does not know how to add Skoopgrade=1 .

Coud you please help me, may be I could add it in another way?
Thank you so much in advance!!

The SKUUPGRADE flag is used when upgrading one edition of SQL 2005 to another. Here is the documentation:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx

[SKUUPGRADE]

Use the SKUUPGRADE parameter when upgrading from one edition of SQL Server 2005 to another edition of SQL Server 2005.

Important: If you use the SKUUPGRADE parameter, Setup will remove all hotfix and service pack updates from the SQL Server instance being upgraded. Once the edition upgrade is complete, you must reapply all hotfix and service pack updates.

To perform an edition upgrade of a default instance of SQL Server 2005 (SQL Engine only) via unattended Setup, run the following command using either /qb or /qn:

start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb

So I run the following (I didn't use e CD)
C:\SQLEVAL\Servers\setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,RS_Server INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine,RS_Server SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb

.... and it tells me my operating system does not meet service packs levels for this release.

I already downloaded .net Framework 2, ISS, SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1...

I have windows 2000 32-bit, Windows XP Service Pack 2

I would be so grateful for some help...

I'm a little confused on your OS. Can you do start -> Run and type in "winver". This will tell you your OS and SP level. Can you let me know what that shows? That way we'll be able to figure out what you need to install to get going.

Thanks,
Sam

G:\servers> setup SKUUPGRADE=1

Worked fine.
