SBS 2003 SP1 install failure
Hi,
I want to install SBS 2003 SP1 on a server because I want to migrate it to SBS 2008. Now when I try this I get the following error: 'This computer cannot be upgraded to
the OEM version of Windows Small Business Server' even though it is an OEM
version.
I have searched the internet and have tried the following solutions:

Now what to do because I don't want to do a clean install of SBS 2008...
Thanks in advance!

are you using Windows Update or downloading the file, there are many different versions, if you don't have the service pack and go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com it should provide you with the correct version.. also have you rebooted the server and tried again?
