Hey guys,

Interesting issue...I have been trying to upgrade to build 13.9.1111, but I am receiving an error stating "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". See attached. This also happened with the previous build. Has anyone else ran into this issue. I downloaded the build twice with the same result?

Thanks.

That EXE just extracts an MSI installer and runs it.

Try running ShoreWareServer.exe /sms and see if you can extract the MSI and run it. Do you have any group policies on your domain related to Windows Installer?

I found the issue. I was receiving event 1008, so I googled it. Found that I needed to install a hotfix related to KB925336. This resolves an issue with big install files and the amount of virtual memory they take up. Installed the hotfix and I am good to go with upgrading tonight!
