Why can't I install SQL Server SP1 (KB968369)?

I have a Windows Server 2008 x64 machine. I have "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB968368)" as an "optional" update available from Windows Update. I install it, my computer installs it for a while, I restart and this update is available again. Why doesn't my computer install it?

Thanks.

I solved it. I deleted the PendingFileRenameOperation key in the registry (backed up this registry key first), ran the installation, restarted and is now in the list of installed updates.

Not sure, but I had the same problem. Have you ever done "Version Upgrade" in SQL Server 2008 Installer? Many users who have completed this update are reporting issues with the service pack. It wasn't a critical system for me, so I just removed the entire shebang and then reinstalled.

Other workarounds in Microsoft Connect . These people have problems when installed on the same computer as Visual Studio.



FWIW, I believe the entire tuning experience for SQL Server 2008 is absolutely negligible.

I think I have the same problem before. I googled around and found that there is a known issue. My solution is to check something like "do not notify updates about this".

Do you have any errors in the event log?

I found I couldn't install it using Windows Update, I had to manually download it and install it for the first time. I also have this problem for SQL 2005 sp2
