I have SQL server 2005 enterprize edition installed on my server when I run SQLServer2005-KB948109-x86-ENU.exe package
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-040.mspx
it comes back with message stating
"This machine does not have a package that matches this installation package. My SQL server version is 9.00.3042.00, OS is Microsoft Windows NT 5.2 (3790), I have another machine that is running the same SQL server and I was able to succesfully install the sercurity patch on it. After the sercurity patch is install the SQL server version changed to
9.00.3068.00. Only difference that I saw was that the SQL server I'm having issue with is installed on E drive, could that cause any issue??
Please help.
thanks
Noveen

well, that's the x86 install for that sp. Are you positive you aren't running IA64 or x64?
