Service pack update

  • When i try to run the service pack in my server. It opens up and runs the file extraction and after that nothing populates. Any inputs on this.

  • I am guessing you mean a SQL Server service pack update, right?

    If so, have you tried going to the folder it extracted the data to and looking for a "setup.exe" or similar file?  Also, have you checked the logs (summary.txt as well as windows event logs) as they may have some better information as to why it didn't start for you (such as wrong .NET version).

    Failing that, are you running it as admin (not just a user in the administrators group, but actual admin)?

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.
