I keep getting eeror mess when downloading SQL server 2005. Micro soft cust service says they are not qualified to fix but if I pay $99.00 they can have someone help with it.
I think that is nuts since they are sending me the download. I tried to do it manually and some components installed but everyday I get update notifications
HELP! PLEASE!
What's the error message you are receiving? And which version are you trying to download?
To download SQL Express SP2, grab it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=31711d5d-725c-4afa-9d65-e4465cdff1e7
To download SP2 for any other edition, grab it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/servicepacks/sp2.mspx
Download that file locally and run from your machine. That should do the trick. Let us know if you hit errors.
Thanks,
