SQL 2005 Update

I have Windows Vista Home Premiun in my computer, yesterday I was installing
several updates for Windows Vista. All updatings were correct except one of
them that generates the "ERROR 733F" message, the name of this updating is:

"Security updating for Service Pack 2 SQL Server 2005".

Later I tried to download the file to be installed directly from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...c-84993a7623b7

but it didn´t work either, the message was "It couldn´t be possible to start
SQL Server, ERROR 29503".


This is annoying because my computer keeps warning me about a 'critical'
update, yet it cant install it...!!!

US & CA only:

"Please call 1-800-936-5700 (or 1-800-936-4900 and ask to be routed to the
SQL-Public Team) to open a free consumer support case. There is no charge
for support related to installing a Security Update.

"When you call please let them know that this has to do with Security
Bulletin MS08-040.

"If they try to charge you, please let them know that there is free support
for any issues with Security Updates."

Error: 733F-- Services Failed to Start "From MS Support"

"Description: This error occurs when the installation program can't start
the SQL Server services. This can happen for several reasons including:
expired account password, invalid user account, user account does not have
permission to start the service, or there is something else wrong with the
service.

Resolution: To help you determine which service is failing to start, view
the summary.txt file that is created at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Hotfix. Once you determine which service is
failing, do the following:



1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.
3. Locate the SQL Server service causing the problem and try to manually
start the service.

If the service still does not start, try resetting the password or the user
account. After doing this, restart the service manually
More information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282254/en-us

If you need additional help, please post your summary.txt file located at
%programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Hotfix to the SQL
Server Setup MSDN forum at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=95&SiteID=1"
