" I just went through some of this on one of my servers. SQL Server had
a few services disabled (cause I rarely require it). Chances are good
that this is what is wrong with you, too.

Right click My Computer, select Manage, Services and Applications,
Services. Now find everything that STARTS WITH "MSSQL" or "SQLAgent"
that has a "startup type" of "Disabled" and change their startup type to
"Manual".

You will then be able to successfully install the update.

It will require a reboot. After it comes back up you can re-disable the
services. "
