How to open a command prompt

[pen]

I am following some microsoft instructions from their website as I need to upgrade the MSDE on my server. Can you tell me in laymans terms EXACTLY what I need to type to

1)Open a command prompt and navigate to:

C:\SQL2KSP4\MSDE\

I know I type start

Run

Cmd

But then I get the following (I don't know how to route)….

C:Documents and settings\Administrator>

2) type the command

setup/upgradesp

You might save me hours!!!!

Hi pen, welcome to the forum.

 

When you open a command window you are in the default 'Documents and settings' directory belonging to the current user, in your case 'Administrator'.

 

The command to change the directory you are in is 'cd'

 

So, to get to the MSDN files you need, you would type:

cd C:\SQL2KSP4\MSDE\

And then

setup /upgradesp

or you can type

C:\SQL2KSP4\MSDE\setup /upgradesp
