I have been trying to apply CU2 to my MS SQL 08 which is SP1, version 10.0.2531.0
1) I got the hotfix (SQLServer2008-KB958186-x64.exe) from Microsoft and extract it to my C: drive.
2) I double click to open SQLServer2008-KB958186-x64.exe and it does extracts a folder to my e drive.
3) Program entitled "Install a SQL Server Patch" opens up.
4) I click oK
5) I accept the license terms
6) On the select features page, I can't select/unselect any features, so I click ok.
7) Then I get a error window that tells me to check to see what are the validation error.
8) The error I get is "There are no SQL Server instances of shared features that can be updated on this computer.".
I'm stuck. WHat do I do now?

Just to make things more interesting, when I ran

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

I got the following results:

10.0.2531.0SP1Standard Edition (64-bit)

But when I opened C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt file, the version for the Database Engine Services is 10.1.2531.0.

Is the hotfix the 64 bit version meant for your chip set, definitley not X86?

You have downloaded CU2 for SQL 2008 RTM, not CU2 for SQL 2008 SP1. You need the KB970315 file.
