Hello,
While I’m installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332) on my computer I keep on getting Windows Update error 534. Does anyone have any advice on how I can fix this error? Do I need to worry about this Update? If not, how can I configure the automatic update feature to ignore this particular update?
Hello Betty,
SQL SP4 should be installed and can not be ignored. It fixes a couple of bugs that were reported for SQL 2005 Express.
The automatic install of the SQL2005 SP4 may fail if the SQL instance/database/tables are locked or in use.
Below registry key is set when you do a install
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.XSetup]
"Resume"=dword:00000001
X is the SQL instance number (1, 2, or so)
The key makes the installer keep a track about the previous install attempts, so all further attempts are marked to be failed.
Make below changes to this key and download the appropriate patch files:
"Resume"=dword:00000000
Thanks
Divina
