If you have VMWare based servers then one of the MOST IMPORTAT THINGS YOU CAN DO TO INSURE A SUCCESSFUL 9.5 UPGRADE / INSTALL - Use the VMWare console and DO NOT install via RDP. I also suggest removing all Anti-Virus software from the Core and the SQL Database server(s). I ran the install AND the upgrade 7 times each and was not fully successful until I used the ESX Console to install from AND removed all AV products during the install. Once I did that everything worked as it should.
