Greetings,

I am about to let users upgrade their SQL Express installations to Standard Edition. They will all run the upgrade program by a command line argument that I will supply along with a setup.ini that I will supply. Is it possible by simple means "hack" the setup.ini file in order to only allow upgrade to x86 Standard Edition We have DVDs with all kinds of editions for both x86 and 64-bit and I would not want the users to accidentally upgrade to Enterprise Edition or a 64-bit Standard edition.

Is this possible to attain by simply means or do I have to upgrade all clients myself

Regards,

Harald Hedlund

I don't believe this is possible either. You may want to ask this question on the setup forum for a last opinion, but I'm like 97.89% sure of this answer.
