Be sure to keep your software and programs up to date to avoid future problems caused by corrupted files. You should not delete a safe executable file without a valid reason, as this may affect the performance of any associated programs that use that file. When there, you can run a security program and a complete system analysis. In this case, you must enable Safe Mode with Networking - a secure environment that disables most processes and loads only the most required services and drivers. In addition, the functionality of the virus may itself affect the deletion of upgrade.exe. Note that not all tools can detect every type of malware, so you may need to try several options before you're successful.
To delete the upgrade.exe virus, you should download and install a full security application like Malwarebytes.
If you suspect that you may be infected with a virus, then you must attempt to fix it immediately. To do this, find this process in Task Manager.įind its location (it should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\) and compare the size etc with the above facts. If you had any difficulties with this executable, you should determine if it's trustworthy before deleting upgrade.exe.

I’ve found that in some cases the Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 x86 (SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi) installation can fail. Both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of SQL Server Compact are now listed in Programs and Features. Having installed both SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi and SSCERuntime_圆4-ENU.msi I successfully re-ran the SQL Server 2008 R2 management tools installation. I downloaded the installation files here The installation instructions state that on a 64-bit computer you have to install the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the files. Programs and Features showed SQL Server Compact 3.5 was installed, but I couldn’t uninstall, or repair the installation.
Looking on the web indicated that SQL Server Compact 3.5 could be causing the issue. When installing the management tools for SQL Server 2008 R2 I received “SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: “Unknown property.”
