Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB948109)

[mizsub]

Good to know it's not just me having these problems, 6 restarts on my laptop
already today and outlook keeps loading in safe mode which of course means
i'm losing some functionalities, slightly frustrating as 2 hours in to my
working day at the office and nothing achieved as yet!! aaarrrgghh!!

Let's keep everything crossed for an extremely quick fix!!!! :{

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 related updates.

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

What a waste of time. Good luck!

-Shawn

[mizsub]

Yes after spending much time trying to restart the services during the
install attempts i decided to forget it and disable them. Not great news for
Business Contact Manager though so it's a good job i don't need to use that
facility today.

Thanks for confirming my solution. I had posted this prior to disabling the
services mainly through frustration... let's say i needed to complain about
it!! :)

I'll try re-installing with all such services switched off and keep my
fingers crossed..

Have a good day....

[Shawn]

> I'll try re-installing with all such services switched off and keep my
> fingers crossed..

They need to be set to "manual", not "disabled". If they're set to disabled
it will not work.

-Shawn

[mizsub]

Ok Shawn thanks for clarifying that.

ms :)

[Matthew Frahm]

None of my SQL instances are disabled, but it still won't install via WSUS.

[mikegee]

hi Shawn

I had same problem with installing this update(KB948109) and tried the
'services' suggestion but they are all manual and I still can't update. error
message 0x783. Also the 'SQL Server Directory Active Helper' under 'Services'
will not allow me to start it. Can you make any suggestions.

Thanks

From MS Support:

<QP>
Error: 733F-- Services Failed to Start

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.

4. If the service still does not start, try resetting the password or the
user account. After doing this, restart the service manually

More information, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282254

If you need additional help, please post your summary.txt file located at

%programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Hotfix

Well I have no idea how to figure out which server is failing. I have a
business computer at home that is not on a network. (Only way I could get Win
XP on a new computer!) I don't even know if I need this SQL Server and I have
no idea how to get rid of it if I don't need it.

I have all this "administrator" stuff on the computer, which I do not use
and don't need, either.

So I have several "failed Installations" for Security Update for SQL 2005
Service Pack. They just keep coming and so do the "corrupt SQL or tampered
with" signs in grey, one after the other.

I am hoping one of you brilliant techies out there can advise me. This is
getting to be a very annoying issue.

Thanks for anything you can do. I am way over my head here.

You can't start the 'SQL Server Directory Active Helper' service, so you can
ignore this.

I get the same problem only with an error of 0x737D. WTF

[cpadd2008]

Thanks for the suggestion, the following is the current error code, I
have stopped services, changed to manual, disables, automatic and the
update fails.

MSP Error: 29533 Service 'MARSH-CT-PC\ACT7' could not be stopped.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The
error code is (16386)

[pst...@gmail.com]

After investigating the error logs produced by the installer to get a
clue about what was going on, I took the following two steps and the
windows update patch successfully ran:

1) Kill the process tree of ArpWrapper.exe (This was probably just
blocking step 2, you need to make sure nothing from this folder is
running even it means booting in safe mode so that step 2 will
complete successfully, otherwise the open file handles will stop the
de-compression algorithm.)
2) Uncompress the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder as
well as all of its subfolders. You can do this by right clicking on
the folder and going to properties -> advanced -> uncheck the
"compress contents to save disk space" box. Click "Ok", then click
"Apply" and tell it to apply to the folder as well as all subfolders.

Let me know if this helps!

[mchua]

I was trying to install this update to no avail. Error code returned is
2B08. I had try to search for KB on this error code but return no results.
Now I cannot RAS in to my corpnet because of security violation for not
installing this update. I am stuck. Any assistance you can offer is much
appreciated.

Thank you!

[kavi_nash]

Found possible solutions at last!!!

When you face this problem, the first thing you have to do is to go
through the latest log file Summary.txt under the directory C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\ and search
for any failures (Status : Failure). We can solve the issue directly
from this log file.

Here is what I have observed in the log file in different machines and
the possible solutions :

• Case 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005

(SQLEXPRESS)

Product Version (Previous): 3042
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure

Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
SQL Express Features :

Error Number : 1646
Error
Description : Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Possible Solution: Reboot your machine before doing any of the
following changes. In the registry editor, go through the following
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\7DDFFFA258DE09A4C825D59ABECDB9F8
and search for Uninstallable key. Change the value to 1 if it is 0.
Reinstall the patch and it should be successful now.

• Case 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Installation Status
Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005

(MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 3054

Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure

Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_sql.msp.log

Error Number : 29506
Error Description : MSP Error: 29506 SQL Server Setup failed
to modify security permissions on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\ for user Administrator. To proceed, verify
that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the
account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and
that exists on the destination drive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Possible Solution: Reboot your machine before doing any of the
following changes. Login to management studio for the default
instance(MSSQLSERVER) and have a look at what all database we are
having. We should not have any other file other than database,
certificates under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL
\Data\. Try moving all the files under this directory to a temp
folder. Leave the files which are in use. It moved around 10 files
which are not in use in my case. Also assign Full permission to the
logged in user to this folder. Start the installation and choose the
default instance. It should be successful.

• Case 3:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Installation Status
Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005

(MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 3054

Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure

Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_sql.msp.log

Error Number : 29538
Error Description : MSP Error: 29538 SQL Server Setup did not
have the administrator permissions required to rename a file: C:
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\distmdl1.ldf.
To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant
administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or
log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Possible Solution: Reboot your machine before doing any of the
following changes. Verify that distmdl.ldf and distmdl.mdf files are
present under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data
\ and grant administrator permissions for these files to the logged in
account.

Please feel free to contact me if you face similar kind of issues.

[Marion]

Thank you for your response, but it did not help for two reasons.

1.) I am insufficiently technical to know how to kill the process tree of
ArpWrapper.exe, and I am a little afraid of fooling around by myself to try
figuring it out. Can you help me with this?
2.) The folder you refer to is not compressed, so this cannot be part of the
issue.

Can you or someone else please help more/again with the problem. I am being
driven mad by the constant messages to install the update when I shut down.
I cannot install the update or stop the messages or find any way of deleting
the uninstalled update. Right now, I'd settle for anything that would give
me some relief.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can HELP, PLEASE.

Hallo!!

If you find a solution to this problem will you please let me know??

Thank you!
Maria (Greece)

I have no idea of how to kill the process tree of the execution file as
well...however, I have directly gone to step no. 2 as mentioned by
pst...@gmail.com without bothering much of the previous step. There were
messages popping up during the decompression process saying that SQL
manegement file is being used by other process, I just ignored them and
proceeded with the decompression. Eventually, I able to get through the
update. Hope this will help.

Hi kavi_nash ... just a reply to say thank you - I have been searching for a resolution to this issue for the past couple of weeks with no luck & I followed your possible solution for Case 1 & it worked. The update has been successfully installed now. Do I need to change the registry entry that was changed back to 0 or is it ok to leave it as 1??

[Chris Foster]

This patch has been a source of frustration for several weeks since my system
always wants to install it and never can. My SQL directory is not compressed
so that suggestion isn't going to help. How about a patch that we can install
ourselves so we are not treated like a bunch of mushrooms? Or just correct
thiss self installing update because it is obvious a lot of users are having
issues here.

Are you seeing hex code 0x6D9E as well?
Try searching for additional diagnostics
using the decimal equivalent (28062)?

The solution for many of these codes seems to depend on how
the product was initially installed and whether access to the original
install files is still available by the same user.

I've been wondering how many of these users actually need SQL at all.
If they don't use it perhaps it would be best if they simply uninstalled
the product completely? <eg>

Good luck

Since you are "non-technical" what do you use SQL for?
Perhaps the simplest solution would be to uninstall
the product completely? ; }

That's why newsgroups, forums or E-mail are often better
help mechanisms.

BTW your Me too! postings are completely devoid of symptom
details. I think it would be a good idea to start your own thread
either here or in the forum for SQL Setup so you don't cause any
more confusion with the OP's incident and its resolution.
Alternatively, try using the free Microsoft support again, this time
using communication by E-mail--no problems with "accents"
that way. ; }

I had the same problem, but after I turned on all the services related to
SQLSever. I was able to update the SP.
To turn on the services:

1. Click on Start, and then Run, type in msconfig, and click on OK.
2. Click on Services tab, and check all the services with the word "SQL" in
it, then click on Ok.
3. You have to restart your computer.

After restarting your computer, try to update again. Hopefully this may help.

If you are unable to update the MS Office, do the same, but turn on "Office
Source Engine".

For many people it is installed by Outlook Small Business Contact Manager
or some other software that uses a SQL Database. Frequently they don't
realize this when the software is installed until there is a problem. Even
Microsoft does not explain very well upfront the SQL necessity for Business
Contact Manager; I found out when SQL caused a problem and researched my
system to see what program was using it. Since I wasn't really using BCM I
uninstalled it and my SQL problem went away. But most people just install
the program and are not aware of what underlying database software is needed
in operating and maintaining the software data. Or the software installs and
they don't even know if they are using the features that require SQL. If
they uninstall SQL some software that they are using wll probably not work,
or may uninstall along with SQL.

Clearly, the persons posting for help here and using these applications
do not have the technical knowledge to understand the underlying database
attached to their software applications. Like many computer users they are
not interested in how it works, they just want it to work. So if their
computer needs the SQL update they just want it to update. Clearly they
don't know enough technically to know if removing the SQL software will be a
hindrance or a help.

You as a techie know this, so your help is much appreciated.
Just a thought to consider.

Absolutely agree. Telling people to uninstall is quite nasty and most
unhelpful.

SQL Server Installation Problem And Operating System Compatibility
Warning

Hello everybody,
I have question ablout the installing SQL Server 2005 in the windows XP
profesional, I always install sql server on my machine with the Windows
XP professional edition as usual without any problem but now
I have a strange problem, first on the System configuration
stepeverything is OK except &#8364;&#339;SQL Server Edition Operating
System Compatibility (Warning) &#8364;&#339; ,with this message :

- SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
�SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility

�Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on
this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software
Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server
Books Online.

Meanwhile the main problem is in the &#8364;&#339; Component to install
&#8364;? window as I don&#8364;&#8482;t see these serises of component
checkbox enable! Except the &#8364;&#339;Worlstation component, books
online and development tool &#8364;&#339;,

sql server database services -->disable
anlysis services -->disable
reporting services -->disable
notification services -->disable
integration services -->disable
Worlstation component, books online and development tool -->enable

And after that I make sure about the serious problem and then I decide
to continuing installation with clicking on the enable check box and
then I have an instance of SQL Server on my machine but it
isn&#8364;&#8482;t compelete .
I tried to solving my problem with unistalling the SQL Server and
reinstalling the this software again but this problem still exist, and
then I decide to change my window and reinstalling this again , I do
that but
It is not work out!!
