Hi,

>From the SQL Server SP3 Readme, the command parameter /upgradesp should be
followed by two possible values:

1. /upgradesp <setup_path>\SqlRunXX.msi
2. /upgradesp SQLRUN

For SP3 and later, this switch replaces the /p switch that you use when
specifying the location of packages. When upgrading to SP3, if you know the
number of the original MSI that was used to install Desktop Engine, specify
it along with the full path to the location of the SP3 .msi file with the
same name. Or, you can specify SQLRUN if you specify your instance name
with the INSTANCENAME parameter.

For examples of how to use this new switch, please refer to the README
file.

HTH.

Sincerely,

Linda Deng
