Error Installing MOSS 2007 December Cumulative Update

  • Artikel

Earlier this week I built a new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 development VM using a fresh install of Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Visual Studio 2008. The process wasn't quite as smooth as I had hoped.

One of the issues I encountered occurs when you attempt to go straight from a slipstreamed install of MOSS 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to the December Cumulative Update (CU), bypassing the July Infrastructure Update (IU).

Since the December CU includes the July IU, I thought this would be okay. Unfortunately an SPUpgradeException occurs during the "build-to-build" upgrade:

Failed to upgrade SharePoint Products and Technologies.

An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. Additional exception information: Upgrade completed with errors. Review the upgrade.log file located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Logs\Upgrade.log. The number of errors and warnings is listed at the end of the upgrade log file.

Configuration of SharePoint Products and Technologies failed. Configuration must be performed before you use SharePoint Products and Technologies. For further details, see the diagnostic log located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\LOGS\PSCDiagnostics_1_19_2009_6_33_30_5_252811372.log and the application event log.

Upon cracking open the upgrade log file, I found the following:

 [SPWebTemplateSequence] [DEBUG] [1/19/2009 6:35:31 AM]: Template OSRV#0: Activating site-collection-scoped features...

Skipping this SPSite for template upgrade.

Notice that it is complaining about a feature not being installed on the farm. This feature ('2b1e4cbf-b5ba-48a4-926a-37100ad77dee') is actually the new "S2SearchAdmin" interface included in the July IU that substantially improves the Search Administration pages. Assuming you didn't install the July IU separately (which on this brand new VM, I had not), you need to explicitly install the new features first:

Once the new features are installed, the upgrade goes without a hitch:

It turns out there are several other gotchas when working with SharePoint on Windows Server 2008. However, given the length of this post, I think I'll blog about those separately ;-)
