Hello experts,
The following SQL update is failing to install on some of our SQL Servers with the following error. Is anyone else seeing this? I've tried Googling the error but have not found a specific fix for this issue.
Thanks for any help.

A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and asks, "Can I join you?"

The error is telling you what is wrong. Also, if you go to the KB article, it will also tell you what is wrong. It's saying that the instances where it's failing is because you don't have sp3 installed on some of your 2026 instances.
