Security Update for SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (KB948110) fail

Security Update for SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (KB948110) will not
install. I have tried to install it 8 times and it fails every time. I have
rebooted multiple times and it still fails. After failing, the Microsoft
Update Icon reappears notifying be of an update to install.

Running XP Pro with all updates to date (except this one).

I am having the same problem with SQL Server 2005 service Pack. Everytime
I've tried to install it - it says "some items could not be stalled". If you
get any suggestions could you pass them on? Thanks. INO

I am having the identical problem with this update install failing on my
computer.

I have another computer in the house which also received this morning's set
of updates -- but KB948110 is not in the list of installed updates -- and so
it did NOT fail. Why are some computers in my house getting this update --
and some are not?

Same problem here...add me to the list

Same problem. I'm getting a 0x643 error message. Have tried the cumulative
hotfix "SQL2000-KB916287-v8.00.2187-x86x64-ENU.exe" but continue to have
problem. The Update Icon is starting to become very annoying...

This update is also trying to install where an SQL 2000 database once was. I
have 2 servers that had MSDE and SQL 2000 on them at one time and has since
been removed. This update is still trying to install but is failing.

Same problem.
W2K3 Server R2 E x64 E SP2.
No problems with updates until now.
Installing SQL2000-KB948110-v8.00-x86x64-ENU.exe seems to work.
Manually installed updates does not affect Windows Update History.
Perhaps there is a trick to tell Windows Update about manually installed
updates?
Querying Add/Remove Programs tells me about 2 SQL-Hotfixes:
Hotfix 1101 for SQL Server 2000 x64 ENU (KB913100)
Hotfix 2050 for SQL Server 2000 ENU (KB948110)
May be the Windows Update symbol in the task bar will leave when you
deselect the update within Microsoft or Windows Update. But in my
opinion it is not a correct solution, only for the systems which do not
need the patch (see other answer within this discussion).

Sorry about my plain english

I just spent 3 hours on the phone with Microsoft tech support t
resolve this

The patch installation uses the SQL SA user, which has sysadmin
privileges. If you download and attempt to install the patch manually
you get a dialog box where you are asked to enter the S
password

My SQL Server 2000 installation is the MSDE version bundled int
a commercial product. The developers of the product will not tell th
purchasers what the SA password is, and for good reason. Users coul
do some serious damage to the product's underlying database

If you don't know the SA password, what can you do

The manual installation gives you the option of logging on with
Windows Authentication instead. It will look in the SQL installation t
see if your Windows user ID has SQL sysadmin privileges. My user I
has Windows Administrator privileges, so it is automatically include
in the SQL "BUILTIN\Administrators" group. But the developers of th
commercial product had removed sysadmin privileges from the SQ
"BUILTIN\Administrators" group as another way to protect th
database

The Microsoft rep used the OSQL utility, available even in the
MSDE version, to logon to the server with my Windows user ID. Th
command for that is

C:\>OSQL -S COMPUTER-NAME\SQL-SERVER-NAME -U WindowsID -P
WindowsPasswor

Next, we looked for SQL users that had sysadmi
privileges

1> exec sp_helpsrvrolemember 'sysadmin
2> g

I was very, very lucky that the list returned by this comman
included another user I recognized as part of the commercial product,
AND I knew how to get the password for it. By the way, "exit" is how t
get out of the OSQL utility

We logged back on to the server with OSQL using that SQL user I
recognized

C:\>OSQL -S COMPUTER-NAME\SQL-SERVER-NAME -U SQLUser -P
SQLPasswor

Now we could give my Windows user ID the sysadmin privilege (th
single quotes are required)

1> exec sp_addsrvrolemember
'COMPUTER-NAME\WindowsUser','sysadmin
2> g
''COMPUTER-NAME\WindowsUser' added to role 'sysadmin'

Finally, we ran the patch installation again and this time, jus
clicked Next to accept the default authentication, which is Windows
not SQL. It worked! The patch installed. No special command lin
switches were necessary; I just typed the name of the file
downloaded

I didn't want to leave that security window open, so I used OSQ
to remove the sysadmin privilege from my Windows user when I wa
finished (the single quotes are required)

1> exec sp_dropsrvrolemember
'COMPUTER-NAME\WindowsUser','sysadmin
2> g

I haven't had good experiences with Microsoft support in th
past, but this representative did an excellent job. He was located i
India, but his English, troubleshooting skills, and product knowledg
were refreshingly good. And he used his real name

I didn't try as I have no idea what "patch installation you sugested let
alone a request for the SQL SA user, which has sysadmin privileges. If you
download and attempt to install the patch manually, you get a dialog box
where you are asked to enter the SA password."

My experience is same as Ric H. I don't talk technical shorthand. At this
point I just want the Update Icon to go away until MS sends a fix that works
without operator intervention.
