Hi sddroog..

I finally got it to work!! I had to double-click on the setup.exe icon about a 20-30 times until finally the wizard popped up ...

... There is another issue ... After you get the wizard to pop up and it does the first phase of the install it may require a reboot to complete. Well, when it reboots and you log back into the server it has to reload setup.exe. And it has a problem doing it again, so you have to logoff/logon until it finally starts up. I actually logged off/on about 10 times before I gave up and started double-clicking on setup.exe a 20-30 more times.

Let me know your result. I just did this on a production server and ofcourse had a full backup of everything.

Also, just an FYI, I manually created a new BESMgmt database using the BES scripts. I don't recommend you trying that since you are doing an upgrade. I just happen to know how to install a new database without utilizing the setup wizard.
