SEC 5.2 and SQL SERVER 2008 R2

donkers

Dear all,

I have SEC 5.0.0.8 installed with SQL 2008 R2 SP2 as the back-end. 

When I attempt to upgrade the database, I get "The version of SQL Server instance ... is not supported" in the UI; "The version of the sql instance selected is not valid" in the bootstrapper log.  SQL 2008 support is available on the system requirements page, but I notice there's no mention of SQL 2008 R2.  It must have worked at some point, because I'm using SQL 2008 R2 right now with SEC 5.0.0.8...

Is it possible to upgrade the database with this version of SQL, or do I need to create an instance of SQL 2008 Express?

many thanks!

    Maybe it would be worth downloading 5.2.1 R2 from the legacy downloads page to see if you get different results.

    I see from the 5.2.2 release notes:

    http://downloads.sophos.com/readmes/sec_522_rneng.html

    It has the item:

    • (DEF95350) When modifying a SEC 5.2.1 R2 installation, the installer rediscovers SQL Server instance, rather than using an already configured database instance.

    I wonder if there is a problem in this area due to this change.

    Attempting 5.2.1 R2 would rule that out and you're only testing the bootstrapper anyway so you could cancel out of it without modification.

    Regards,

    Jak
