Hi John,

i had that the Services are not able to start when i update the SQL Server 2017 to a newer Relase.

During the SQL Server Upgrade there is a Message with currenty accessing Serivces, DON`T stop these Services.

I had done it first time and my Services were not able to Start.

With Windows Updated i have currently no Problems with the Services (pull them Directly from MS)

The SQL Server was updated before hand and not by the installer, we dont use the express version.

When we rolled the db back to 15.1.2 the search, management and deplyoment services were installing just fine again.

Also the DB-Config for 15.2 worked, just the windows-services were corrupted.

Hello John,

Thank you for your post, please share the error message screenshot.

Regards,
