Help Desk: Vista Update

Kevy Baby · 07-16-2008, 08:07 PM

I have an issue on a box running Vista. I have an update called “Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB948109)” that keeps refusing to install. I keep getting an error Code 735D. I have looked the problem up on the MS web site as well as the interwebs in general, but couldn’t really find a solid answer.

Do I need this update (my computer is used as our "server" by making the Shared Docs folder our file repository)?

If I DON’T need it, how do I kill it?

This might be a dumb question but...

Are you running SQL Server 2005 on your home PC? I do but I'm strange that way.....

It is not something that comes with Vista (even if you are sharing).

Throw it out and buy a Mac.

Install XP.

Seriously, if you didn't consciously install SQL Server then I'm not sure why it's trying to update.

This is what I do some days at work:

Select * from dbo.coworkers where coworkers = 'smrt'

0 results returned.

Try this link - I know the error you're getting isn't exactly the same, but it seems that people are getting several variants of errors, but this is working.

One note: it is my WORK computer.

To the best of my knowledge, I am not running SQLS2. I assume that it is an OS? (Sorry - I am a PC neophyte)

Would love to! (I use a Mac at home.)

Boss wanted to upgrade to Vista because more than 5 people can connect to Shared Docs at a time (see OP).

Thanks for the link. I will try that tomorrow.

It's a database engine. It may very well be running. Hit "ctrl-shift-esc" to bring up the task manager then click on "Processes". Look for processes named something like "sql server".

If it IS running, how can I make it NOT run (besides force-quitting in the Task Manager every day)?
