SQL upgrade from MSDE: UpgradeAdvisor returned -1 .

Cause:
The error occurs because of a problem with BPACMD.EXE attempting to load BPAClient.dll. While upgrading the instance of SQL Server the setup looks for the BPAClient.dll and it fails as it is not able to find it at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\BPA.
Solution :
Copy the BPAClient.dll file from the following location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\BPA\bin to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\BPA.
- An error has occurred, which probably means the feed is down. Try again later.
