MS03-031 wont install on SQL Server 2000?

  • I am having some trouble installing this patch...

    I am installing some software that requires SQL server sp3a installed on win2000 sp4.  Then while using the software I got an error saying it also needed to have MS03-031 installed in order to work and be at version 8.00.818 or higher.  The current version appears to be 8.00.194 when I right click on the service manager icon in the system tray and click "about".

    So I went out to the microsoft site fonud the download for MS03-031, downloaded it and installed it, and it says that it was delivered or patched successfully.  It closes.....but the version of my sql server never changes and so I cannot install this software. 

     

    Any ideas?

  • Version 8.00.194 is the RTM or Original Release of SQL Server which is an indication that SP3a did not apply properly.  Try re-applying SP3a and output the results to a log file to verify that it installed correctly.  Hope this helps.   

    My hovercraft is full of eels.

  • thanks!

     

    i have a feeling that will help a lot!
