SOLUTION: Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack

So everyone is getting a different message or error code. In order to help
EVERYONE with their unique problem simply go to "program files," "microsoft
SQL Server," "90," "Setup Bootstrap," "LOG," "Hotfix," and "Summary" (note:
just select the normal Summary with no numbers in the name). Now a window
will pop up...look towards the middle left for a line that says "Error
Description" under the "Product Installation Status." The product should be
"SQL Server Database Services 2005."

Now all one needs to do is correct whatever it is in the error description.
For example, mine said "Error Description : MSP Error: 28062 SQL
Server Setup cannot install files to the compressed or encrypted folder:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. To continue, make sure that your
installation directories are not compressed or encrypted, or specify a
different directory, and then run SQL Server Setup again."

So I just went to Program Files and decompressed my Microsoft SQL Server
folder and voila!! it worked perfectly. To decompress just right click on
the Microsoft SQL Server folder, click on properties, and uncheck the box
next to Compress (you may have to go to Attributes and click on Advanced
first though).


Another person posted that this could also be a message:
The error description would be: "SQL Server Setup cannot upgrade the
specified instance because the previous upgrade did not complete. Start the
Remote Registry service and go to Add/Remove Programs, select the Change
button for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then select SQL instance [2] and
complete the setup."

There are probably more errors than the two i listed above. Just fix the
one that your computer specifies and all should work out in the end.

P.S. I also find it very lame that Microsoft could not test these updates
properly first before sending it out to its millions of users. Just shows
how ignorant this big company has become after people have become dependent
on it. Luckily more users are switching to Macs. I would too, but again,
there are some programs only found in Windows that are essential to my work
and therefore the big company has made me dependent on them again.......

I received the error description: "SQL Server not responsive prior to running
Repl post script procedure". Anyone have any idea how to fix that? This
update has errored out many days in a row.

Thanks!!!

This assumes the message to fix is obvious. How does one fix "MSP Error:
29542 Invalid report service property length." There are many others just
as obtuse.

Well Mike115, I don't get any messages. It just keeps installing
successfully, and then after windows updates, asks me to reinstall again. It
has "succesfully" installed on my computer 15 times.
