Is the ARAdmin password the documented default? We has similar issues upgrading from 7.5 to 7.6.04 SP1 (Windows/MS SQL) where you could tell the installer connected to the db for some operations but others failed. We set ARAdmin to the default password, set Demo's password back to NULL (old habit I had forgot to do this time) and the installer would then allow us to perform an upgrade. My best guess is somewhere the default ARAdmin password is hard coded into the installer.
