Errors when upgrading TFS 2005 to TFS 2008

[Steve]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to upgrade TFS 2005 to TFS 2008 on a test server in
preparation for upgrading our live box. However, when I run the
install of 2008, I get the following error message:

TF220059: An error occurred while the Setup program was querying the
installation settings for Team Foundation Server. For more information
about this error, see the installation logs. For more information
about the installation logs, see "Troubleshooting Installation for
Team Foundation" in the Team Foundation Installation Guide.

Looking at the error log, I find the following error:

[06/11/08,09:59:35] TFSUI: getcurrenttfsproperties.exe: === WARNING:
Unable to retrieve service account from the database. Failed to find
TfsServiceAccount in database TfsIntegration table
tbl_registration_extended_attributes

....which results in:

[06/11/08,09:59:35] TFSUI: ***ERRORLOG EVENT*** :
getcurrenttfsproperties.exe: *** ERROR: Unhandled exception causing
exit: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No mapping between account
names and security IDs was done

Has anyone seen this error before, and if so, do you know the
resolution?

Thanks in advance!

Steve.

Hi guys,

I managed to solve this problem by running the TFS 2005 Repair option
prior to attempting to install the TFS 2008 upgrade. I hope this is
useful to others?!

Cheers,
