Convert it to decimal and go and search some SQL forums and newsgroups.

I'll crosspost this to one for convenience.

I have had a similar problem for over a month with the KB955706. I could
never get the install to take although it showed that I had installed it 5
times on the my update history. I finally found out that I did not have the
SQL Server itself installed and was not sure I even needed it. I did a manual
install of the server and downloaded the update (KB955706) to my desktop and
installed it from there and have not had the constant update reminder since.
Still don't know if I will ever use the SQL Server, but got rid of the pesky
reminder.

I'm not sure how that would happen. ; )

Thanks for the feedback. Often I suspect users have the opposite case:
it's installed, they don't know why, they don't use it; so IMO they might as
well uninstall it until they figure out why they would want it. <eg>

Unfortunately, I noticed that a version of SQL seems to have been
installed when I installed Windows Live Essentials so there may be
even more people posting with such symptoms who do need it... ; }

FWIW appwiz.cpl shows it is
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]

The Windows Internal Database feature also installs a really weird SQL
Server instance -- it looks like Standard Edition, but there is no SQL
Server Agent. The instance name has ## in it (I removed it from a machine
at work the other day else I'd provide more specific details). I'm sure a
lot of little apps out there ship with MSDE or Express and install it
silently, so I'm sure there are a LOT of users out there that are unaware
they have SQL installed.

Take database offline that is associated with the update...then install.
If using SQL 2005 be careful and make sure you have an up to date backup..sometimes the database might not come back
