Can not install July CTP with June CTP already installed

I was thinking the installing July CTP upon June CTP is like installing a service pack, but the set up tells me the upgrade was blocked.

Any one has any idea how to install July CTP on a server with June CTP installed already?

Do I have to back up all the databases and uninstall June CTP and do a installation of July CTP from scratch and restored all the databases or is there a way of upgrading to July CTP?

Any comments and inputs are highly appreciated.

Hi Bo,

We are currently not supporting a direct upgrade between the two CTPs. You should however be able to backup your database, uninstall the June CTP, install the July CTP and then attach your database. This should be the easiest route between the two CTPs.

Thank you,

It worked for me, though it seems a little bit tedious.

Thanks a lot for your advice, Elisa.
