SBS 2008 SourcePrep tool fails to run

I encountered a strange error trying to run the SBS Source Prep tool for 2003 to 2008 migration.

The application silently fails, with the only hint being the following error in the event log.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5000
Date: 1/6/2011
Time: 5:29:59 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MMP1
Description:
EventType clr20r3, P1 sourcetoolwizard.exe, P2 6.0.5601.8532, P3 4c03eb7a, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333ab80, P7 ee3, P8 0, P9 n3ctrye2kn3c34sgl4zqyrbfte4m13nb, P10 NIL.

So I hit the search engines, and unfortunately found very little. I have included the following as they may or may not help others.

Given there was a very limited window that the client had given to complete the server upgrade, and that I have the benefit of working for a MS Gold Partner, I raised the issue with Microsoft Support.

The ususal standard 'have you tried' out of the way, we ran the app in debug, and also used process monitor to capture what was going on when the tool was running.

A bit of a 'why didn't I think of that' moment. Anyway, the Process Monitor log showed a write to a file call SourceToolUpdate.log. There was nothing of note contained in this file, but in the same folder was SourceTool.log.

This did have some errors, specifically: a

01/07/2011 16:24:05 !Error! System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: Font 'Segoe UI' does not support style 'Regular'.
at System.Drawing.Font.CreateNativeFont()
at System.Drawing.Font.Initialize(FontFamily family, Single emSize, FontStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte gdiCharSet, Boolean gdiVerticalFont)
at System.Drawing.Font.Initialize(String familyName, Single emSize, FontStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte gdiCharSet, Boolean gdiVerticalFont)
at System.Drawing.Font..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

The server appear to have the correct font, so on a whim I grabbed a copy from a 2008 server. Frustratingly, the source tool now runs.

So, if you have issues with the SourceTool, locate the SourceTool.log. It might turn out to be the wrong version of a font.
