I want to perform inplace upgrade on existing SQL Server 2005 Express (SP3) with Advanced Services (x86) ESN (Spanish)
VimalSolanki1982 , you really want to go with a x86 = 32 bit server system nowadays? Really?
I wouldn't.
Do a fresh SQL Server x64 = 64 bit installation, backup & restore the databases.

Thank you olafhelper , yes we would like to go with 32 bit SQL 2014 Express as the requirement is for a legacy application and it supports only 32 bit. I am looking for direct upgrade to SQL 2014 Express Spanish version. I have around 56 such sql instances that needs to be upgraded.
Only problem is that 2005 sp4 is pre-requisite before i do inplace upgrade to sql 2014. Due spanish version of sql i am unable to patch the same.
Thanks,
Vimal Solanki.
