I recently attempted to upgrade BE 2012 to 2014 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. As others have stated the SQL part has problems. After a day of trying all the suggestions I could find I wiped the server, did a fresh Server 2012 install, ran all MS updates and then installed BE 2014. At that point I shut down all the BE services and copied over the data and catalog folders. That part went great. As soon as I started all the service BE 2014 started running backups.
Now for the problem.
As soon as the missed backup jobs completed I ran LiveUpdate. It came up with HotFix 218257 so I said install. It ran for about 10 minutes and them came back with failed MSXML not loaded. I checed the error log and it directed me to Microsoft. I downloaded and ran the MSXML program to verify and it came back saying everything was installed and running fine. When I tried to open BE 2014 again it said that services were not running. I tried to restart all the service using the Service Manager but they would not restart. I rebooted the server and everything was back up and running.
When I hit the LiveUpdate button it still says I need to install HotFix 218257.
Anyone have any idea what is going on with this update?
This is a newly installed copy of Windows Server 2012, with the "application role" installed and fully patched. We have a McAfee ePolicy server that pushed out the McAfee Agent but Anti-Virus has not been installed. The only program installed is BE 2014.
