"There are several known issues that could affect many B2TR update attempts - these include.
· When updating a B2 installation to B2TR all language packs and SKUs (e.g. Project Server) should be installed on B2 BEFORE B2TR is installed – you will not be able to add or remove language packs or SKUs after the update is applied. This limitation will not apply at RTM for B2TR -> RTM installations.
· Before starting to update a B2 installation you must shut down the Search service – it is possible to corrupt your search index if an indexer is online and writing to the index during the update.
· If you originally installed SharePoint Server Standard Edition there is a mandatory extra step required before the update can be started which is detailed in the Readme.
· When installing a clean installation of B2TR you must create a web application and install any language packs or SKUs on B2 then apply the B2TR update.
· If you are planning to upgrade an existing SPS2003 installation please read and follow the upgrade instructions very carefully."
