I ran the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard and it started to execute. There was a brief pause on Step 2 of 9 – Initializing the Upgrade Sequence. Then the wizard failed with the following message: Failed to initialize the upgrade sequence. An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown.
