I am trying to install SQL 2008 SP2. However, I am receiving an error. It says "SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: Collection."
I was able to successfully install SQL 2008 Enterprise edition. I did uninstall SQL 2005 Enterprise edition. Does the fact that I uninstalled SQL 2005 have anything to do with the error I receive when I try to install SQL 2008 SP2? Is there anyway to fix it?
The server I'm trying to install SQL 2008 SP2 on is a Windows 2003, Standard x64 Edition.

Check the Detail.txt located at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log" for more information related to this error message.

this only shows information on the install of sql 2008. I've been trying to look for a similar file for the install of SP2 but can't find it. Is there one?

Do you find any subfolders like "20101122_*". The Detail.txt file should be located inside those.

i found the issue to be with running setup.exe. I had to run the individual SQLServer2008SP2-KB2285068-x64-ENU.exe and all the updates ran fine

it's easier to slipstream the service pack at install time!
