KB483980: Upgrade from MicroStrategy 2019 to MicroStrategy 2020 fails with StackOverflowError


Jose Procs

Manager, Cloud Support • MicroStrategy


This article explains the StackOverflowError being experienced during an upgrade to MicroStrategy 2020. This article also provides a workaround for this error.

Description 


When attempting to upgrade Strategy 2019 to Strategy 2020, you may experience a StackOverflowError upon entering the license key.

Additionally, the

MSTRInstaller.log
will show a loop trying to validate the Intelligence Server products.

Why is this happening? 


This behavior occurs when both the Intelligence Server and R are installed in the system. In Strategy 2020, R is not included. However, since it was previously installed on the environment, the validation process goes into a loop, in an attempt to disable it. 

Solution


This defect is currently being investigated by the Strategy Technology team.
 

Workaround


You can modify the

instance.xml
file located in
<MSTR_INSTALL_PATH>/_uninstall/instance.xml 
and remove the R section. The R component can be found under the "Others Components" section of the .xml file.

After removing the R component, the file should look like this:

After removing the entry, run the installer again. It should complete without issues.
