Problem installing sp1Hi
I downloaded and tried to install the sp1. It went through once completely with 'SQL Server Native Client' left out pending restart. I re-ran the set-up, this time it did the client but on the second item 'Set-up support files' it comes up with 'The following unexpected error occurred: Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file' and then crashes (asks to send error report). What is the problem and how can I finish the sp1 install properly? Thanks Regards John (John@nospam.infovis.co.uk) writes:

That is, I already> why does it crash i.e. tries to send error report? have SP1 installed it again, and it crashes with the error on the SQL Server Support Files. In your case, I think you can simply ignore this. If your description is correct, you already have SP1 installed. All you needed was a reboot. But it would be troublesome if you install a second instance of SQL 2005, and want to upgrade it to SP1. This appears to be a known issue. I found https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=127012 which also includes description of a workaround. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esq***@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx  |
