Update to R2 from Beta (R2)

I have R2 Beta installed in development machines and we just got R2 full version CDs yesterday. I am looking for updating it to full version and I am wondering is there any documentation which can help? any known issues or any special considerations i should take care before update?

This link is for Biztalk 2006 but am looking at Biztalk 2006 R2. I found installation documents for that as well but there is not any specific for updating Beta R2 to full version.

My installed version is Biztalk 2006 R2 Enterprise edition (Beta) Now new version i want to install is Biztalk 2006 R2 Branch edition. I tried and it throws error saying can not perform upgrade to Branch edition !

Can I upgrade to Branch edition from Enterprise Beta edition?

Hi again Mark,

As far as I know, you can upgrade between Enterprise,Standard and Developer editions. However I don't think
you can do it to Branch edition since rather being a complete functonality, it contains subset of Biztalk functionalities as described in the following doc.
