  Hi,

  I am having problem in running the sql server 2005 upgrade advisor wizard.

  I keep getting a message as "export server must be running Microsoft SQL Server 6.5"

  But the strange thing is i am running 2005 upgrade advisor then why it is asking me 6.5?

  I have a SQL server 2000 standard edition and SQL server 2005 Developer edition running on this machine.

  I just want to run this to see what suggestions the upgrade advisor comes up on my 2000 databases for moving to 2005 environment.

  Any help will be greatly appretiated.

  Thanks

  Arshad

  Could you please give more information and tell me if the following is correct:

  1- You have two SQL server editions on your Server (SQL 2000 and SQL 2005)

  2- When running the upgrade advisor on your SQL 2000 server it gives you the error "export server must be running Microsoft SQL Server 6.5".

  Thanks in advance!
