First you must upgrade the MessageStats database by running the MessageStats installer. It is recommended that you log on with the MessageStats service account to perform the upgrade.

To upgrade the MessageStats Database

Download the latest version of MessageStats from the Support web site.
2
Extract the contents of the compressed file to a directory on your existing MessageStats database server.
3
In the extracted MessageStats directory, double-click the setup.exe file.
4
Click Install.
A dialog appears indicating that an earlier version of MessageStats exists in this computer.
5
Click Continue.
6
Click Next, accept the license agreement and click Next.
7
Select Custom.
The installer automatically detects the database component that is installed. A red x is displayed beside the MessageStats Server and Reports nodes in the Select Features dialog, indicating that they are not present and will not be upgraded.
8
Click Next.
The server on which the MessageStats database is installed is displayed.
9
Verify the server location for the installed MessageStats database server. Enter the SQL instance name after the SQL server name (SQLServer/InstanceName).
You must explicitly specify the SQL instance if
•
you are not using the default SQL instance

you have more than one SQL instance

Click Done and click Finish.
