Sorry to repost but this was buried a couple pages back.
Just reposting it thanks.
Well I did the In-Place upgrade and still received errors during the upgrade
process. I did boot from the WIN2K3 CD. I get the following error message. I
have tried it twice.
An eror has been encoutnered that prevents setup from continuing.
Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The
setup log files should contain more information.
Press ok to view the setup log file.
Then it gives a error referring the the followinf file. "syssetup.dll"
I have no idea what to do next.
Any suggestions would be great. I am going to restore from tape again and
just let it crash for now until we can get a solution and try again.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
Thanks
