RE: Unable to install KB954606

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have had problems with this update for a long time too. I have WINXP PRO
and OFFICE 2007 w/Business Contact Manager for Outlook. I have read many
posts and spent many days on this with no results. I am now confused and
frustrated and pretty overwhelmed.

After many failtures for the whole SP2 auto download (which doesn't work) I
have (as instructed) downloaded the HOT FIX KB954606 to shorten time between
failed install attempts and still to no avail.
When run, it asks me to UNLOCK the SQL - so I turn it off - then it fails,
and the error log ends saying it can't update it because it is NOT RUNNING.
(sigh...)

BTW I can't find the Remote Registry Service, so I found (in Program Menu
under SQL) the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration to start and stop it.
Again with not results.

I am very ready to discover the fix, and fix it and found others with
problems almost like mine here. I hope someone can help me and the solution
helps others too. Thanx, Drix

Here's an exerpt from end of install lot:
LOG: SQL Express Features :
Error Number : 29565
Error Description : MSP Error: 29565 SQL Server Setup cannot
upgrade the specified instance because the previous upgrade did not complete.
Start the Remote Registry service and go to Add/Remove Programs, select the
Change button for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then select SQL instance
MSSMLBIZ and complete the setup.
