I had no errors or warnings pop up during the check that runs for the installer, but had a some come up during the actual installation. I Currently have green check marks next to all the list items on the installation status screen, and the "Overall progress" bar is completely full, but the Previous, Next, and Cancel buttons are still greyed out. Last entry in the log file was "INFO: SQL Connection succeeded. Connection: SMS_ACCESS, Type: Secure", but that was obviously several hours ago at this point.
I believe that some of the errors I had earlier were because I was logged on with a different account (my own admin account) than what everything was installled with initially. This was moving from a 2012 SP1 install, and yes, I did remove the ADK 8.0 and installed 8.1 beforehand.
Any advice here?
[edit]
As a side note, I was looking through Anyweb's R2 upgrade guide and noticed that there should be far more component entries listed near the end of the install...my last list item is "Monitoring replication initialization"...based on the screenshot Anyweb provided, I should have a scrollable list there by the end.
