Re: ISA 2004 did not install MSDE SP4

I totally understand and respect your position. However, before I installed
SP4, I searched the web and this newsgroup for any guidance re installing
SP4 and found none. Given my experience since SBS2000 and SQL service packs,
I felt it safe to install -- especially since I installed weeks after SP4
was released. Why didn't MS give us guidance on this the way they did with
Windows Server 2003 SP1? Certainly shouldn't have to pay for support if I
didn't do anything wrong.
