I'm finding that Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3

(KB970892) never gets installed, but I don't know why. It just says it

can't install it. Whether this really matters or not I don't know but

it's a pain having this constantly reminding me to let it do something

that it can't or won't do.



What's the answer?

Try disabling your anti virus real time protection before attempting the

update again. Once it finishes installing, re-enable the AV.

Thanks for your help here, guys. Unfortunately your recommendations were

of no avail but I did discover that I have only one program (AFAIK) that

uses SQL. Since I haven't used this prog for over two years, and could

reinstall if necessary I've deleted it, after consultation with the

program makers, who were unable to say why the update would not install.

They also said that the update was unnecessary, given that the prog

worked perfectly fine. However I was annoyed at having the constant icon

reminding me to install the update, and now I don't have that! Problem

solved.

Have you even bothered to open a no-charge support incident yet?

It's a friggin' SECURITY update, d00d!





This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in

Microsoft Windows GDI+. These vulnerabilities could allow remote code

execution if a user viewed a specially crafted image file using affected

software or browsed a Web site that contains specially crafted content...

"They"=The "program makers" of the "only program [he] has that uses SQL," a

program which "[he has not] used in two years."



He deleted it, which solved the problem to his satisfaction, so there's no

reason for your exasperation or for him to open a support incident. Chill.

I didn't say they did. But it got on my computer somehow and I linked it

to this software because its name was in the title of the SQL server in

the list of services.
