Failed KB909544 install



I have been attempting to troubleshoot this identical issue as reported
by Nicolas Noakes on Jan 25, 2006:

"We are running SBS 2003 Standard Edition with SP1, and WSUS (Windows
Server Update Services). All was well until I tried to install the
folloing update, which failed:

Update for SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (SharePoint) on Windows
Server
2003 (KB909544)

I now cannot start the MSSQL$SHAREPOINT service - it starts and
immediately stops again.

I cannot find the update file for KB909544 on the Microsoft Download
Centre website, and obviously it cannot be reinstalled via WSUS of the
Windows Update website because it is identified as already installed.

It does not seem that the database for KB909544 vesion of MSDE will be
able to be read by previous versions (refer to the kb article), and I
see a error about the master database having an "invalid schema" in the
sql log file. I therefore suspect that the database has been upgraded,
but not the MSDE engine."

We have reinstalled all of WSS in an attempt to correct this issue,
after reapplying the same patch, we receive the same error. We do not
have a very large companyweb site, however, we do have several clients
who are using this site quite extensively.
