  • Hi to all,

    Could anybody please help me out regarding the above issue or if possible coula please send me the either link or the Sp3 file to my Email id.

  • There is really no SQL Server 2000 SP3 because SP3 was later converted to SP3a but the current version of 2000 is SP4 so you need to use that instead because even SQL Server 2005 is now in SP3. Here are the relevant SQL Server 2000 SP3a links make sure you watch the installer.

  • (SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3

    Release date: January 17, 2003

    How to obtain

    SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) is no longer available. Please install SP3a instead.)

    That link you posted is not correct because there is no SP3 available for download as you can see the text above is from the second link I posted. This is something I know I opened Sp3a and installed it in all operating systems except Vista because Vista was not out back in 2005.

    Kind regards,
