  sounds like the service pack to me.

  the latest is SP4 in which case if this is 64bit you want file

  SQLServer2005SP4-KB2463332-x64-ENU.exe

  from site http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7218

  If you are downloading services packs and not SQL Server itself, then you cannot use them to install SQL Server. You need the actual SQL Server .msi file to installing SQL Server.
