  Hi, All

  I have a Q for U.

  When I update SP for Standard and Enterprise SQL, I havent got any error or problem but when I update Desktop version of SQL, I got an error.

  Here are those.(I have 2 desktop engine machines for developer. 2 different errors)

  1. The instance name specified is invalid

  2. A strong SA password is required security reasons. Please user SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.

  I took a look at readme file that refers to Bookonline but I couldnt find solid answer as well as MS web site.

  Any idea?

  Thx in advance.

  Jay
