I am trying to install the SQL 2016 Upgrade Advisor on a Windows 2008 64 bit EE server with SP2 (Build 6002). (not 2008R2)
The server has one instance of SQL 2008R2 Std Edition with SP3 (Build 10.50.6220.0).
The install proceeds through the "I accept ..." then when I click Next I immediately get a pop-up with the following text.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2885.
I ran "misExec -?" and it returned Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6002.19424 .
The same package installed fine on a Windows 2008R2 64 bit EE server.
How do I get the package installed on the Widows 2008 Server?
