Looking at the latest CU6:
x64 version
/Yukon_SP2_CU6_SNAC/09.00.3228.00/free/339685_intl_x64_zip.exe
file size: 5.7MB
i386 version
/Yukon_SP2_CU6/09.00.3228.00/free/339680_intl_i386_zip.exe
file size: 137MB
Are these even the same update? I recall the previous version (CU5) also being like this (not installed either yet). The x64 packages all seem to have "SNAC" in the path name, implying that they're an update to the SNAC component only.
The build number is correct though - anyone got any experience installing these on both platforms? The file sizes are so different I can't see how they are equivalent. Or do I have this wrong - do you need to install the i386 package PLUS the x64 package onto an x64 server to get all the fixes?

Haven't seen this, but I'll post a note and try to track this down.

in as much as I've applied CU5 to both x64 and x32 servers and have previously deployed x64 and x32 versions of same patches, yes they are the same
however I have these files for CU5
SQLServer2005-KB943656-x64-ENU.exe
SQLServer2005-KB943656-x86-ENU.exe
these are 178Mb and 134Mb

Here's what files are unpacked from CU6:
x64
sqlncli.msi
file size:6.21MB
i386
SQLServer2005-KB946608-x86-ENU.exe
file size: 137MB
It looks like the x64 package is a SNAC updater only. Maybe the MS hotfix request form is giving me the wrong package?

I'd resubmit and include this note in there. I believe a human examines the requests and mails out the package, so they might have just picked the wrong file.

Seems a strange way to do it. Prone to human error and labour intensive 😛
I've resubmitted a single request for both versions at once - let's see what they send over.

Yep - looks like they sent me the wrong package. I've now got these:
x64
/Yukon_SP2_CU6/09.00.3228.00/free/339681_intl_x64_zip.exe
contains: SQLServer2005-KB946608-x64-ENU.exe
file size: 183MB
i386
/Yukon_SP2_CU6/09.00.3228.00/free/339680_intl_i386_zip.exe
contains: SQLServer2005-KB946608-x86-ENU.exe
file size: 137MB
All good now - thanks for your help!

Jacob
