error code 0x2B33 for SQL server 2000 KB 948110(MS08-040)
helleon
0x2B33. I checked error messages in Microsoft, not listed. Any suggestions on
how to get this update to install.?
Thank you.

You are not the first to get problems with this update. To start with, which OS do you have? Next, how far to do you get in the update before it
dies? Does it stop immediately, or does it run for some time? A trivial
question: have you checked that you have not run out of disk space? (When I
ran the corresponding update for SQL 2005 at home, I got a similar cryptic
error code, and I eventually found that my disk was full.)
Note that if you are using Reporting Services, that there is a more
recent update for a more critical issue, see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-052.mspx and
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5F9E7F78-7439-414B-A9DC-A779B89427DB
(Readers who are using SQL 2005 should be aware of that this vulnerability
affects SQL 2005 as a whole.)

my disk, it is not full. I have used 42 MB on a 74 MB disk. I checked my
updates and found I had installed KB 954478 (MS08-052) with no problems. I
did receive an addition to that update notification but Cannot find the v.2
of it. When I checked downloads of Microsoft I can only find v.1. Where do I
get the v.2 ?
MS08-040 downloads but wont install. It starts and almost immed. stops and
wont install. Need more help, please.

Hm, not really sure what v.1 and v.2 refers to. The KB article you mention
is for Office. 052 covers a broad range of products, not only SQL Server.

I'm afraid that the only recommendation I can give is to open a case with
Microsoft. I was told that since this is an issue with a security update,
the case should come at no cost. As I mentioned, quite a few people has
run into this, but in most cases it has not been resolved. What I know
about is:
o Running out of disk space.
o Trying to run the update on Vista (which is not supported)
o Trying to run the update with sa, because you have removed
BUILTIN\Administrators also fails. (But it fails in a different way
than an obscure error code.)
If you really want to avoid a call to Microsoft, you could hunt your
disk for log files, and see if you can find any clue.

mean by run the update using sa?? Sorry for the dumb questions but it is the
only way to learn.

> Thank you. Question. HOW do you hunt your disk for log files??
Good question. I guess pressing the Search button Explorer and then search
for *.log and then trawl through the fairly long list of files you will
get.
> What do you mean by run the update using sa??
If you had come that far, you would have gotten a question on how to
authenticate to SQL Server. (It doesn't seem that you reach that dialogue.)
In any case, don't try it. It doesn't work. (But it should work.)
> Sorry for the dumb questions but it is the only way to learn.
I think those who have to learn in this case is Microsoft which should not
put out a security update which you cannot install. Or at least can't give
a good explanation to why it cannot be installed.
By the way, when you run SELECT @@version in Query Analyzer, what does it
say?
