Hey all,

Maybe somebody can clue me into what I'm doing wrong. I have MSDE installed on my workstation through Visual Studio.NET.

It's currently running SP1. I am trying to apply SP3. I use the following command:
setup.exe /upgradesp SQLRUN INSTANCENAME=WORKSTATION1\local SECURITYMODE=SQL UPGRADEUSER=sa UPGRADEPWD=mypasswordhere 

It runs for a few seconds and I get the following prompt:

"Please go to the control panel to install and configure system components"

Now I enjoy obscure error messages/system prompts as much as the next guy but come on Microsoft, throw me a freakin bone.

Thanks,
Justin
