SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (MSDE) - not working

Hello --

Is this the place for this post?

I downloaded and installed
SQL2000.MSDE-KB884525-SP4-x86-ENU.EXE

These 4 SQL lines indicate that I still am at SP3
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel')
SELECT @@VERSION
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion')
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')

I know there are many variables involved in the upgrade (command line
parameters, etc.).

Does anyone have an idea of why the install might fail?

Thanks for any help.

More information on this problem:

At the end of 2939 lines of msdelog.log is the following:

=== Logging stopped: 8/27/2005 22:21:45 ===
MSI (c) (EC:AC): Note: 1: 1729
MSI (c) (EC:AC): Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine --
Configuration failed.

MSI (c) (EC:AC): Grabbed execution mutex.
MSI (c) (EC:AC): Cleaning up uninstalled install packages, if any exist
MSI (c) (EC:AC): MainEngineThread is returning 1603
=== Verbose logging stopped: 8/27/2005 22:21:45 ===

Is this of any help in determining what went wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

These lines only tell you it failed, they don't explain WHY it failed.
You may need to read 2939 lines of your log file to find out. I have
installed this patch on quite a few machines and didn't have any
problems, but I'm the kind of guy who reads the readme. Are you sure you
patched the correct instance? I seem to remember having to type it at
the command line, and it wasn't obvious what I had to type at first...
