I have a 2008 enterprise 32 bit instance running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise server. I'm an administrator on the server.
When I try to run SQLServer2008SP3-KB2546951-x86-ENU.exe it uncompresses to another drive under a random directory name. Then a dos window (setup.exe) briefly flashes on the screen and the directory is deleted again.
HELP!

No, it is a single physical machine.

So, this is 2008, not 2008 R2?
Thanks,

Have you tried extracting the SP to a folder on the C drive and executing the setup from there?

Yes 2008.
And what SP is the operating system? Windows Server SP2 is required for this.
Thanks,

I would love to. Unfortunatly I don't know how to tell the .exe to extract, but not run. Can you provide instructions on this?
Thanks!
