Hi qludse.

A search of Microsoft's site shows that the update that you have mentioned is mainly a sever required update.




I wouldn't worry about it right now, unless you are running a server

Hope this helps.

same thing hapened whit (KB948109) is that allsow not an inportant update ?

updates: failed to install:
Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB948109)
26,2 MB

Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB954606)

If you want to download the updates manually go to :How to download updates that include drivers and hotfixes from the Windows Update Catalog

The site explains the procedure to follow to search for and download the updates.

What anti virus program are you using? You may find that this is stopping the correct download and installation of the updates you mention.

Hope this helps.

i use norton gameing antivirus 2009

Try disabling Norton and try and download and install the updates. As I mentioned it may very well be stopping the correct installation of the updates.

If they install correctly with Norton disabled, at least you will know what the problem is and we can find a different anti virus for you.

i uninstalled norton and installed mse but i cant update

If they fail to install during the shutdown process and it seems as if everything is fine but on restarting the process repeats, asking you to shutdown again and install the same updates.

You can empty the temp folder used by Windows update and retry to install on restart. In order to do this follow these steps:



Go to Start, then All Programs -----> Accessories -----> Command Prompt -----> and finally click Run as administrator. Continue if you receive a notification (User Account Control notifications can be disabled).

Type or paste the following command at the prompt:

net stop wuauserv
ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistributionold
net start wuauserv

You can also check if the updates were actually installed and you don’t need to run it again. Do this by accessing the Control Panel and looking in ‘Windows Updates’ to see if anything was installed successfully.


Also try this:

General Clean-up of Updates Folders

Restart in safe Mode, which means pressing F8 at the boot up screen; just to make sure keep on pressing it in case you miss it.

Go to the Windows ----> SoftwareDistribution ----> Data Store. Find the file called ‘DataStore.edb’ and delete it.

Go to the Windows ----> SoftwareDistribution ----> Logs and delete everything in here.

Go to the Windows ----> SoftwareDistribution ----> Download and delete everything; you can choose ‘Edit, Select All’ then ‘Delete’ from the toolbar at the top.

Go to the Windows ----> SoftwareDistribution ----> EventCache and delete all you see.

Now restart normally and the auto-update program should reconfigure itself automatically; this means finding out what has been installed on the machine and what needs to be updated. This usually fixes most problems with updates.

Hope this helps.

SQL update usually fails unless your have created the instance with Windows Authentication. But most of the software programs Create the SQL instances with SA mode i.e. Password protected so that noone can get into their SQL database. Go To Start > Services.msc then look for SQL Server <instance name> tell us what instance are you using maybe we can find out whether its WA or SA mode.

SQL Server (SONY_MEDIAMGR2)
SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)

i found this 2 of sql server i dont know if it is the right one

OK Let's try this

Navigate to the following registry key:

32-bit Computers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup

64-bit Computers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup

Locate the Resume REG_DWORD entry on the right pane.

Right click on the Resume entry and select Modify. Change the Decimal value from 1 to 0 and press OK.

Then

32-bit Computers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Setup

64-bit Computers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Setup

Locate the Resume REG_DWORD entry on the right pane.
Right click on the Resume entry and select Modify. Change the Decimal value from 1 to 0 and press OK

Then try to update and see whether that works

Hope this helps,
