Cannot update 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to CU3

  • Hi All,

    having a frustrating problem,

    I have a default instance running 2008r2 enterprise (recently updated from standard). I've applied SP1 fine but I cannot install CU3. When i get to select features the MSSQLSERVER and Shared Features options are greyed out and i can't select them. i've tried restarting the server (its a test box) but the options are still greyed out.

    Server properties: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor)

    File I'm trying to install: SQLServer2008R2-KB2261464-x64

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Cheers,

  • If you go to the KB article it details the build number

    Note This build of this cumulative update package is also known as build 10.50.1734.0.

    Your on a higher version than the CU already hence you cant downgrade

    SP1 Build Number 10.50.2500

    RTM CU3 Build Number 10.50.1734
