Has anyone had a problem when installing service pack 2 or 3 on SQL Server 7.0? I'm stuck at MDAC upgrade every time, had to 'end task'. Did select @@version afterwards, still on the old version. I didn't try service pack 1 yet.
I found the following page titled "Can't install SQL server service pack 1", but I'm unable to access.

Any help will be appreciated. Please email me directly. Thanks in advance.
Hi dear Devs! I have a problem and now I am not sure, what I should do. "Microsoft Update" Service warned me, that a new critical update is ready for download. It was the update "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2", I did that. Untill here no problem. The update "SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2" was ready for download too. I have both versions on my computer "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" and "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". The Express Edition came together with the install of "Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite", two days later I have installed the "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". Now to my problem, the "SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2" installation failed in one point, the name of it is "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client". The whole installation was not interrupted, it told me only at end of this updating that this point wasn't successful - I saw it in the "Summary.txt". While the install I saw that this "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client" was twice in the list of the Service Pack 2 Update. Both of these points had the identical name. In short words, I saw that the SP2 wanted made an update at "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client" twice. I thought, it is because these two editions of "SQL Server 2005" on my computer. But the result is, that the SP2 couldn't update the second 'Native Client'. I checked it in the 'Software' section in 'Control Panel' and I have really two installations of this "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client". My question is, is that normal, is that because I have two "SQL Server 2005" Editions on my computer? And what can I do with this failed part of the SP2. Can someone help me with this failed 'Native Client' SP2 update? I were really happy, if someone could give me the best solution to fix this problem. Thank you very much for your help and answers
I'm trying to install Service Pack 4 to our default instance of SQL Server 2000 with SP3a, on a Windows 2003 Server, which also has a named instance of SQL Server 2005 on it and a named instance of SQL Server 2000 with SP4.
The installation appears to be running just fine, but MUCH too quickly. The last window appears stating something along the lines of 'Updating Active X components'. I'm expecting the scripts to run to update my system stored procedures, etc., but that never occurs. The installer just quits.
No errors in the Windows logs, nor in SQL, and no C:WindowsSQLSP.log file.
I tried the installation again, but this time used a different copy of the service pack 4 installer, with the same results, and again no SQLSP.log file.
Since I was going to remove the named instance of SQL Server 2000 anyway, I verified that my SP4 installer was good by uninstalling the named instance of SQL Server (the one with SP4 already), reinstalling a named instance of SQL Server 2000, and reapplying SP4 to this named instance. Everything went flawlessly.
I then tried reapplying SP4 to the default instance of SQL Server 2000, and this time a SQLSP.log file was finally generated. In the error log, the last entries are:
19:10:03 C:PROGRA~1COMMON~1MICROS~1SQLDEB~1SQLDBR~1.EXE sqldbreg2.exe -RegServer 19:10:04 An error occurred while setting the registry value for: SoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServer 19:10:04 Could not restore AuditLevel registry key 19:10:04 Action CleanUpInstall: 19:10:04 Installation Failed.
I confirmed that the service accounts that are running SQL Server both have local administrative access to the server (which may or may not matter), and that they are both sysadmin, so I don't think it's a permissions issue to the registry. I've also verified that the account I was using to run the SP installation also has local admin access on that box.
So, I compared my HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServer registry entry from our production server to the one on the test server, I see that our test server's entry is completely empty. On production there are numerous subkeys, such as CurrentVersion and RPCNetLib.
I'm planning on copying the registry entries from production to test. Should this be sufficient, or are there other things I should look out for?
I am continually prompted to download & install this SP by the windows update utility but it always fails to install it. I have XP SP2. No error msg is provided. I do not have ACT! installed. I do have Oracle 10g Expr. Ed installed. Competitive jealousy?
I found this online:
Important notes about the cumulative hotfix package €¢ You must enable the SQL Server Management Object (SMO) extended stored procedures and the SQL Server Distributed Management Object (SQL-DMO) extended stored procedures before you install the cumulative hotfix package.
Where does one enable SMO & SQL-DMO?
I looked in the summary log file in the Hotfix directory and it says that the problem is that SQL Express cant be started. See below.
I went into the SQL Configuration Mgr and tried to start it and it fails to start. No reason given. Now what?

If I install a new named instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 on a machine that already has 3 named instances that are upgraded to service pack 3, will the install of the new instance overwrite any of the current SP3 files? Will I have to re-apply SP 3 to the existing instances?
I am new to Visual Studio (Pro Edition) and to SQL 2005. I installed the VS Pro, on Vista Business edition. Now I'm wondering if I need to install SQL-SP1 and SQL-SP2. Or do I install just SQL-SP2. Also which version of SQL-2005 is installed with Visual Studio? Standard, Express?
I would like to thank anyone in advance for your time to answer my question.
We are running SQL Server 7.0 on an NT Server in an NT environment. We have Service Pack 2 installed on the server hosting the database. Do we need the service pack installed on the client machines? Even if they only need client connectivity? Also does anyone know what fixes sp3 is supposed to fix? We are running our production environment without any known problems using sp2 and really dont want to disrupt it with sp3 if its not needed. Thanks in advance.
Hi, i have a clean install of VB2005 Express and it's accompanying SQL Server 2005 Express (yes i'm new to .net).
After installation i ran Windows Update and it found about 40mb of updates including SP1 for SQL Server. All installed correctly up to a reboot point, after which it continued with the update process.
When it reached SP2 (for SQL Server) it tried to install but just says "Updates were unable to be successfully installed" and "The following updates were not installed: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2 (KB 921896)".
Now i have a permanent icon in my system tray which when clicked tries to do the install with the same result.
During the attempted install my floppy drive 'buzzes' a couple of times.
I'm running an AMD3000+ (64bit) cpu with Windows 2000 Pro SP4
As mentioned in another post (on the VB Install forum) my MyDocuments folder is on a networked pc which has caused other non related problems, not sure if this could be responsible for the error. It would seem unlikely as SQL SP1 installed without any errors.
I am a member of the Administrators group, and there is plenty of space in all hard drives, plus the temp directory is open for "everybody" to full-control it. Yet the Service Pack 2 database engine fails, all other components upgrade fine.

We are having trouble installing SQL2000 service pack 4 on our server. The package runs through and looks like it installs files to c:, but the install never asks us for any of the questions regarding the install of service pack 4. One issue we were thinking about was that MSDE was installed on the server also. We have a 2003 server with SQL 2000 sp3 (8.00.760)
I am totally new to this but have access to a SQL Server (version 6.5) and am looking at the processes used on it to learn. It is being used as a reporting server and have run into a wierd problem:
We discovered that it did not have any service packs at all on it so we applied SP4 to it (Microsoft SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.281 (Intel X86) ).
Now what took a few minutes takes **hours** to do. In particular, a particular SELECT INTO statement that has a few joins in the WHERE clause is the problem. I changed the code from the SELECT INTO and created the table and used an INSERT...INTO statement. This did not help.
This process has ran successfully on the SQL Server without any service packes for over two years and now with the SP4 applied, it takes forever.
The SQL statement that is used has also been working fine for the same amount of time. One thing that I notice with it is that the join syntax uses *= instead of the more current way (LEFT OUTER JOIN). We are also clearing the logs before running the statement to make sure the space is available. This is run against a header table with around 600,000 rows and a detail table with approx 1,500,000 rows.
I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (from CD) on my IBM PC with XP Operating System. During set up, I get a error message (see below) telling me about a Service Pack requirement. When I click on the link provided in the error message, it does not lead to any service pack download.
I'm trying to read thru these forum posts, it seems that there is a service pack that I need to download after installing SQL Server 2005. But how can I install the pack after when I can't install SQL Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is more information about the version of windows my PC has.
My PC: Windows Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633:Service Pack 1)
Error message from install program:

This situation, I am guessing, also preventing me to run import/export from the SQLServer Client.

Does anyone know when SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5 came out and of any reviews on it?? Would like to make sure there are no major issues or bugs before installing company-wide. Thanks in Advance, Bill.
If I update my SQL Server 6.5 server with sp5a, do I need to also update the clients? My clients only have the 'SQL Client Configuration Utility' installed.
Hi, I am trying to install the service pack 3 for sql server 2000 but cannot do it. I keep getting stuck at the screen where it asks u for the windows authentication or the sa password.
I select the sa password option and enter the password but it gives me an error saying that it was unable to connect.
I have msde version 8.00.534 that is sp2 I think. When I attempt to upgrade to sp3a I get: “The instance name specified is invalid� . I am working with win XP home edition that include IIS. Have some suggestions? Thanks

My production server has MS SQL Server 7.0 with service pack 2. I want to install the latest service pack but all my seniors who are working on Unix and sybase sql server doesn't want to install SP 4 they think with this service pack there has been no problems, we don't want to install new SP and create problems. CAn anyone guide me that what bugs are fixed and wht are good reasons for installing latest SP over the old one, and Is there any draw backs about new SP.
Can someone help me out to uninstall service pack 5a on SQL server 6.5? We have few problems with this new service pack. Stored procedures could not delete temporary tables created in them. Can I load the backup databases from this service pack(5a) to service pack 4 servers?
I wanted to find out more about Service Pack 5. I have heard that the purpose of this service pack is to make SQL Server 6.5 Y2K compliant.
Does anyone know anything about this Service Pack (its contents, release date etc). I have checked the Microsoft SQL Server home page, MSDN Library, TechNet, Knowledge Base and have not had much luck.
We have SQL Server 6.5. We planned to go for Service Pack 5a. Right now SP3 is running on SQL. I went through the "Microsoft Site", we also noted down some information from the site. In our server we didn't set any password for 'sa'. In the Documentation they hv given some options for setup. I am not able to follow that. Can anybody explain to me what options I hv to give while I execute the setup.exe for "SP5a" and Can anybody please tell me what precautions we have to take before installing the SP5a?.
I participate in the SQL Server Integration Services and Reporting Services forums and I have seen many outstanding issues users would like to see fixed. Is there a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 being developed and if so when would it become available?
