      This is a very common problem with MS SQL Server (all versions I think). Because an Express edition was installed first, you are pretty much screwed. You are going to have to uninstall the express edition, manually delete all the folders it leaves behind, reboot, and install the new version with the advanced services, etc. For what its worth, this has happened to me twice already. Looking for other solutions will only give you a headache.

      My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

        I was able to not delete all the folders but did a regedit to clear that.

            Yes uninstall was necessary and a big pain as MS does not clean-up well.

              That was my experience as well, but at least you managed to do it with one step less than me. ;)
