| I have a Windows 7 64 bit machine running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise.I would like to upgrade it to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I loaded the media on the machine, but when i double click on the setup.exe, it displays a command box for a split second, goes away, and then nothing happens.I tried rebooting the box, running as Administrator (by the way, I am part of local Admin group on this box), but nothing happens when I double click on setup.exe.I have used this same media on other machines and it works fine.Are there any logs that I can check to see what may be causing the issue?thanksscott |

| Rather than double-clicking on the exe, open a command window and run setup.exe from the command window, which may let you see the error message. |

| I assume you downloaded the 64-bit install for SQL 2008R2. After you run that from the command line, is there anything in the task manager that you can identify as being associated with the install?I really don't know what is going on, and will not be of much help since I can't poke around in the system. |
