I run the following string:

REINSTALL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 ADMINPASSWORD=password
SQLACCOUNT=domain\acct SQLPASSWORD=password AGTACCOUNT=domain\acct
AGTPASSWORD=password REINSTALLMODE=vomus

The setup fails with the following error:

SQL 2005 was originally installed in May '06 as RTM.
SP1 applied in September '06.


I have the original RTM install disk but obviously SP1 is causing rebuild to fail.

The SKUUPGRADE option failed because I cannot upgrade to a lower level version.

I dont want to uninstall/reinstall SQL.

Is there a way round this?

you install from the add/remove programs cpanel item instead. It will then prompt you to point at the install media.
