URGENT: Named Instances

  • June 19, 2007 at 10:08 am

    we have SQL Server 2005 EE installed as the default instance and has SP 2 applied.  We are attempting to go back to SQL Server 2005 EE with SP 1 by installing a named instance SQL Server 2005 EE.  I have successfully installed SQL Server 2005 EE RTM, but when attempting to install SP 1, it fails as it is also trying to apply SP 1 to the default instance.  I need to apply SP 1 to only our named instance.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    In the Wizard there should be a selection to apply to all instances or to the specific instance

    It is greyed out.  All it wants to do is apply SP 1 to all instances.

    Also just tried this:

    SQLServer2005SP1-KB913090-x86-ENU.exe /quiet /norestart /instancename=HCM

    This is what I got in the log file:

    Even with the /instancename switch, it still looks like it is trying to apply to all instances.

    Lynn,

    EE is Express Edition or Enterprise Edition?

    I assumed it was Enterprise but if it is Express then I think you download the Express Edition SP1 from here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=11350B1F-8F44-4DB6-B542-4A4B869C2FF1&displaylang=en

    Also in the Readme for some reason the instance name is in quotes:

    When I use EE, I mean Enterprise Edition.

    I will reread the readme, but I didn't put the instance name in quotes when I tried it, as the help file I was reading didn't indicate that it needed to be, of course there was no sample code either.

    Thanks,

    Lynn
