.NET Runtime 2.0 Error with EventID 5000

Hi,

We are performing a SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 upgrade on a Windows 2003 SP1 server.

We encountered error in the SQL 2005 upgrade with the following error :

===================================

Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.

===================================

Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program. (System.Xml)

Program Location:

at System.Xml.Schema.SchemaInfo..ctor()
at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet..ctor(XmlNameTable nameTable)
at System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings.get_Schemas()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.ReportViewer.UAReportController.LoadAndValidateDataFile()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.ReportViewer.UAReport.ValidateDataFile()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.ReportViewer.UAIssueReport.Refresh()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.ReportPanel.OpenReport(String reportFile)

From the Event Viewer, under Application, we can see the following error :

EventID : 5000

Source :

EventType clr20r3, P1 bpacmd.exe, P2 2005.90.2047.0, P3 443f5935, P4 bpacmdx, P5 9.0.242.0, P6 443f5932, P7 7, P8 7a, P9 microsoft.bpa.common.bpaserver, P10 NIL.

We do urgently need some help now.

Thanks.

Mike,

I'm not sure what went wrong exactly, but seems a .net runtime issue. Wondering if you're willing to manually install .NET framework 2.0 before running the setup? You can download x86 version of .NET 2.0 from:
