Applying Service Pack 3a

Feb 20, 2004

Hi,

I am trying to install the eval version of Reporting Services. One of the requirements for installing this is to have SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3a. I've downloaded the service pack and followed the instructions documented by Microsoft (applying SQL2KSP3.exe, then SQL2KASP3.exe).

It appears that the application of the service packs did nothing. No errors where returned after the executable was run. But, after having applied these service packs, the version has not changed. I have restarted the service, and the server with no success. The version that is returned is
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194'.

I am running MSSQL server Developer Edition, running on Windows 2000 Professional (service pack 4).

Any suggestions. I have even uninstalled the SQL server and re-applied the service packs, so I really am having trouble trying to figure out what to do next.

Thanks,

Jim

Applying Service Pack 5a

May 26, 1999

When I try to run SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5a, I consistently receive the error message

"Setup initialization could not be successfully completed.
cfgchar.exe could not be executed. Please check the relevant
out file."

I am currently at Service Pack 3.

1) I have insured that the PATH environment variable does not contain quotes.
2) I have no other applications running at the same time as the service pack is running.

The contents of the cfgchar.out file appear as follows:
