When I open the DQS client, I get this error message:

Message Id: VerificationFrameworkVersionNotCompatible A new version of .NET or Data Quality Services was installed on this machine. In order to continue to work with DQS please run 'DqsInstaller.exe -upgrade'.

However, when I run DQSInstaller.exe, I get this message:

DQS Installer has detected a previous DQS installation under this SQL Server instance. Running DQS installer will remove the previous installation, together with all the knowledge stored in it.

Will I lose all my knowledge bases? Is there an upgrade path?

You can use DQSInstaller as stated, but it WILL remove any Knowledge Bases and projects that you already have in place. I had this same issue due to installing SP2, but was able to work around it using the Import/Export feature in DQSInstaller.

Before you run the upgrade, run DQSInstaller with the -exportkbs argument in order to backup your installation.

dqsinstaller.exe –exportkbs c:\DQSBackup.dqsb

Then run the upgrade path to get a fresh install, and run DQSInstaller again with -importkbs to load your Knowledge Bases back in to the new installation.

dqsinstaller.exe –importkbs c:\DQSBackup.dqsb

This is exactly how I was able to resolve this issue in my environment, and retain the configuration/knowledge that had already been built up in DQS.
