| Hello everyone i am new to these forums and partially new to SQL server.Question: I am trying to install KB956717 on a windows xp embedded box. This system already has sql and windows installer 4.5 installed on the box and everything is working fine. This KB Hotfix helps us with reporting services issue that we encountered. The problem i am having is that when i go to install this KB hotfix it starts by unpacking all the files to a random location. Then when it is doing the MSItiming packages it states that a resource could not be found and asks for a sql_common_core.msi file. Well i located where it is but its not an MSI file it is a MSP file. I can not get the kb hot fix to complete the upgrade of my sql server instance. If you need more information i can provide this. I have also tried unpacking the kb hotfix using the /X command and then running setup but i can not seem to determine which file to start manually. thanks in advance |

| I believe i figured it out.I unpacked the SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe into a folder which contained all the files needed to install SQL08 Express with Adv Svcs. In this folder were the MSI files that the CU1 patch was looking for.I used the patch CU1 and pointed it to those specific files in the Unpacked SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe folder. This upgraded the sql server to the CU1.According to sql server it is patched to this CU1 patch version. I will be testing the reports out when i recieve a database to test with and i will post results. |
