installed cumulative hotfix build 3186 server service not starting

  • Anyone else experiencing this? It fails to install on the database services.

  • I'm running 3186 and ran into this on one of our instances. I just applied the hotfix on the database engine during the second pass without error.. Does it give you a specific error message? Have you looked through the log files (i.e. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\). Good luck 🙂

  • I tried re-running and it did not work. I found this in the hotfix log

    Let me see what I find in these.

  • That KB article it mentions says something about the file name SQLServer2005-KB936252-x86-ENU.exe. But no fix.

    ¤ §unshine ¤

  • Are your system databases in the default location prior to installation? Will it start in single user mode (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180965.aspx)?

  • No they are not in default locations. Let me try single user mode.

    ¤ §unshine ¤

  • Does not start in single user mode. Do I need to put the system databases in original location?

    ¤ §unshine ¤

  • Yes, you do.

    Check this :

    Good Luck!

  • 🙂 that will do it every time. Put them back in the default location and apply the hotfix.

  • Alrighty! Thanks again!
