Hello everyone,

When I have a SQL Server problem, I always come to this site. You guys have helped me with several issues.

I am trying to install SP2 for my 2008 Express instance which is the 32 bit version but is running on a 64 bit Windows Server 2003 OS.

The install file I chose for SP2 is SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe

In the Instance Configuration form I enter the instance name which is CrewTrac9E.

I get error "The instance ID MSSQL10.CREWTRAC9E is a;ready in use. Choose a different value"

I may be using the wrong install file for SP2.

Can anyone point me to the correct SP2 file please?

Thank you. John

Sorry folks. I was using the wrong install file.

The correct file for SP2 is SQLServer2008SP2-KB2285068-x86-ENU.exe
