Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706) fails to update.

Question:I've had this Vaio laptop with MS Vista Home Premium for over a year and recently, my auto update keeps telling me I need this important update on my machine. It tries to update my laptop but continues to fail. It's been trying to update this particular file now for a month. I tried to do it manually and that fails too; however, it won't go away.  It also generates a lot of error report messages and uses up space on my hard drive which I have to clean out every week.

I use a Sony Vaio laptop with MS Vista Home Premium that I've had over a year without any problems. It's a VGN-AR320E, if that means anything.

Please help.

Answer 2:Hi James,

I have the same problem, I think.  I just tried running updates and it says it's installing "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706)", but then it ends with this: "Some updates could not be installed.  The following updates were not installed: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706)".  No further information is given.

I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 on a Gateway GM5260 Intel Core2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz with 2 GB of RAM.

What additional information would help you understand this problem?

Thank you,

Chris.



Answer 3:Hello LeFlake,

 Thank you for your reply!

 Are you able to verify if the download was successful or not successful?  I know you recieved the error but just want to verify.  Also are you recieving any other error codes?  Please let me know.
James
