Re: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2 (KB 9

I downloaded the service pack 289 megs then installed it all went fine but
the writer did not install.. ok no big deal just reboot and reinstall service
pack again and it will show writer not installed, go ahead and install it and
reboot presto update complete..... don't do a auto update from microsoft do
it manually. Im running vista with all updates now..... auto update may still
show you need the update but ignore it.
Also you may first have to startup or active ACT 7 srvices as well as any
SQL too in services folder.. dont worry if some dont start.... hope this
helps... let me know if it did.
