[GIS] ArcGIS Desktop 10.4 crashes when opening a 10.3 MXD

arcgis-10.4arcgis-desktoparcmapinstallation

Freshly installed ArcGIS desktop v10.4 over v10.3
ArcMap crashes (sometimes) when opening a 10.3 MXD.
I updated 2 machines from 10.3 to 10.4. One machine is crashing when trying to open the MXD's we have been using without problems up to now. The thing is, it only crashes when opening some of the MXD's, not all.

On the 2nd machine…no problems at all.
These machines are identical.

Ideas?

Figured it out everyone. As it turns out ESRI does already know about this problem. Have a look at this article: http://support.esri.com/technical-article/000013243

At version 10.4 - no more support for SQL Server 2008. ESRI tells me Microsoft is not willing to do anything to make it better. They are done with 2008.

Thanks everyone!
