Upgrading Windows Server 2K3, SP2 Standard Edition to Enterprise

We have six servers running Windows Server 2003 SP2, Standard Edition that we
would like to upgrade to Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. I've been
having difficulty with the upgrade, because the setup program keeps telling
me that the Windows version on the box is newer than the one on the CD. I've
tried rolling back SP2 on our test box, but that does not solve the problem.
I've also tried running winnt32.exe from the \i386 directory; no joy. Am I
missing a component? Is there a step I've neglected to take? I would much
prefer to upgrade those six servers instead of reinstalling the OS from
scratch.
