Hello

I'm trying to upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express to 2008 R2 Standard, but the upgrade fails. The Select Features tab contains no available features, yet if I click next, I get an error saying "There are no features selected for upgrade." The installer fails, but there are no errors in the log, just a user aborted -line that comes up since I have to cancel after I hit the dead-end.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS. I'm using the "Upgrade from SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008" option from the installer. The Edition Upgrade feature in the maintenance tab of the launchpad doesn't give the 2005 Express instance as an available option, although it's listed.

The Express database itself is working fine.
