Ran across this peculiar error today when I was upgrading from Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 to Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2010 on my laptop which had Windows 7. I ran the "SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard " and got the below error
Failed to initial the upgrade sequence. An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. Additional exception information: Exception of type ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException’ was thrown. |
After some searching on the net I found this article. Though the scenario mentioned in this is slightly different from mine I decided to try this out. So I browsed to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS" in the registry and updated the value of the SetupType key to "CLEAN_INSTALL". The old value was "SKU2SKU_UPGRADE".
After running the "SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard " again I now got a new error.
An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. Additional exception information: Failed to call GetTypes on assembly Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.

This looked like some progress to me. I further searched on the internet and found that I need to install MSChart components for .Net 3.5 sp1. Though it is indicated that this is a part of .Net Framework 4.0, I had Visual Studio 2010 already installed on my machine but this still failed. Hence I assume it needs the MSChart components for .Net 3.5 SP1 only. Other versions will not help.
I installed the MS Chart components from https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=130F7986-BF49-4FE5-9CA8-910AE6EA442C&displaylang=en.
I ran the "SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard " again and this time lady luck seemed to smile on me. The wizard finished successfully and I could clearly the see new stuff in the Central Administration which indicated "Mission Accomplished"
