SQl Server 2005 sp2 Database Engine

  • I've just completed an in-place upgrade of our sql 2000 database to sql 2005 which went fine, all working as it should be. Then proceeded to upgrade to SP2, again everything upgraded fine except the database engine which failed and currently remains on the base install version 9.0.1399. The only issues I appear to have is that any maintenance plans I create error when run, however, I can create T-SQL scripts and run as jobs (DB Backups, Transaction Log Backups etc).

    The upgrade summary.txt contains the following:

    Product : Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)

    Product Version (Previous): 1399

    Product Version (Final) :

    Status : Failure

    Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB921896_sqlrun_sql.msp.log

    Error Number : 29565

    Error Description : MSP Error: 29565 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 MSSQLSERVER and complete the setup.

    All database services are running fine with no errors. When I follow the advice in the error description and reboot it still fails to upgrade the database engine to SQL Server 9.0.3077.

    Any ideas guys as I'm pulling my hair out

    if you are using a domain account for the sql server service, you can try changing it to local system and restart the service then try the service pack again.

    try this link as well, for ideas
