SQL Server 2012 Edition Upgrade Error I know I can't have a direct answer to this previously written somewhere, because this is somehow an special situation.

I installed a SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence last month. I have found some issues, and happly noticed there's a service pack 1 already.

On the other hand, I was asked to perform an Edition Upgrade from SQL Server 2012 BI to the Enterprise version.

Well, I'm not sure if the provided Edition Upgrade option that comes with the SQL Server 2012 installation will work after I applied the path.

So, seems like I should run the upgrade to Enterprise first, then install the patch, but I'm getting an error while trying to do this:


  SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
  
  Attributes do not match. Present attributes (Directory, Compressed) ,
  included attributes (0), excluded attributes (Compressed, Encrypted).
  
  Error code 0x84B40000.


If I go to the link I get:


  We're sorry
  There is no additional information about this issue in
  the Error and Event Log Messages or Knowledge Base databases at this
  time. You can use the links in the Support area to determine whether
  any additional information might be available elsewhere.


Well, I would be glad to get the Edition Upgrade first, but I can't find a lot of information about this error.
The error sounded very cryptic, but it resulted to be a simple solution:

It meant that the target folder was compressed, I didn't notice before, so I uncompressed "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" and the Edition Upgrade ended in 5 minutes succesfully.
