I have a server with two named instances of 2008 R2, SP1. I have downloaded the upgrade executables from Microsoft to upgrade to SP3 and then do the Meltdown patch. Do I need to run each executable twice, one for each instance? If so, how? I tried looking for posts describing how to do this but no luck. For my single instance servers I simply run the executable. Thanks in advance!

No, the patch will upgrade all instances.
You do realize that 2008 R2 is no longer supported?

When you run the patch package you will have a choice of which instances you want to update located on that server.

Thanks to both folks who answered. Yes, 2008 R2 is out of support - tell my management :-).
