Sql-server – SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 – Can’t install “Full-text Search”

-setupfeaturesinstallationsql-server-2008-r2

I have a "Microsoft SQL Server Express 2008 R2 SP1" installation on a machine without the "Advanced Services". Now I want to install the "Full-text Search", so I downloaded the setup "SQLEXPRADV_x64_DEU.exe".

The problem is, if I start the setup, select my existing sql-instance and go further to the feature-selection menu, I don't see the "Advanced Services". I just see the already installed features. Here's a screenshot (in german):

I did the installation of the "Full-text Search" on about 20 different machines with existing sql-instances without problems. But on this machine, I don't know what's the problem.

Hope somebody can help me! Thanks in advance!

For all people which have the same problem, I solved it this way:

I installed a completely new "SQL Server 2012 SP2" instance (with fulltext-search), transferred my databases to the new instance and uninstalled the old one.
